lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on behalf of the Italian Radical Members of the Bonino List, I announce that we will not be supporting the Hautala report, not, of course, because we are against the principles expounded and the objectives to be attained but because we believe that, increasingly often in the European Institutions, the wrong methods are used to attain fair, acceptable aims and objectives. It is often done in a bureaucratic way, always in an attempt to draw up a law, a directive or a new imposition. The 1976 directive played a fundamental role – and I do not want to dwell on this – but the attempt being made today with this report, with this directive, to enhance the implementation of equal opportunities through legal instruments may, I feel, take us down the wrong road, where the benefits run the risk of being more than counterbalanced by the harm done. The reversal of the burden of proof, for instance, goes against the liberal principles of the rule of law for the sake of the cause to be attained. The legitimisation of positive actions, for instance, must be tied to an assessment of their duration and of proportionality. The creation of independent national bodies – this is true in this case but, in my view, it is true in all other cases too – that deal with pre- or para-judicial tasks, would incomprehensibly duplicate traditional means of judicial redress. With regard to access to the labour market, then, I believe that, first of all (this is true for the Italian situation) some measures must be considered that are wholly conventional – flexibility of the labour market, reviews of social spending, wholly absorbed, for example, by social security spending – measures that would address, and to a great extent are already addressing the issue of equal opportunities in the labour market, but without any need for new laws or new bureaucracies."@en1
