"Mr President, I am now speaking as a member of the Committee on Petitions and as an MEP from Latvia. I want to remind you of the petitions on the voting rights of non-citizens permanently residing in the Member States.
These petitions were not reflected in the report since they were examined either after 2010, in the case of the Estonian petitions, or before 2010 for the Latvian petitions. But I want to contest here, in the presence of the Commissioner, the position of the Commission and also the explanation just provided by Mr Busuttil that the problem of statelessness and deprivation of basic rights is not within the competences of the European Union. I think that it is within the competence of the European Union because it is discrimination on the basis of origin, which is prohibited by the Charter of Fundamental Rights."@en1
