".
As we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, we remember and condemn the horrific tragedy of the Holocaust.
We cannot, and must not, forget this tragedy, which is one of the most shameful and painful chapters in our continent’s history. Let it serve as a lesson to all of us for the future, so that we can combat the extremes that lead to intolerance, discrimination and racism.
I support the idea that the 27th should become the day on which, throughout Europe, we remember the Holocaust and pay tribute to its victims.
I am concerned at the growing signs of anti-Semitism and racism, and at the rise of extremist and xenophobic parties. It is up to the EU and the international community as a whole, fully and effectively to promote and protect civil and fundamental rights in the Union and in the world.
The EU must remain faithful to the values that form part of its shared heritage, must strive to safeguard the principles of tolerance and non-discrimination and must promote social, economic and political integration.
It is crucial that we resume discussions on the draft framework decision on racism and xenophobia, because we will only be able to combat these phenomena effectively and consistently throughout EU territory if we adopt an integrated approach that involves both preventative and punitive measures."@en1
