lpv:translated text	"2007 is a very important year for the issues to be resolved in the area of equal opportunities and the implementation of equal opportunities throughout the European Union. Equality of opportunity forms the basis of the common European system of values, and its implementation will promote the enforcement of basic human rights. This report, which is being prepared with a codecision procedure, addresses all areas of implementation – from the creation of the legislation framework to the definition of financial means – including possibilities of participation of Member States and civil organisations. My honourable colleague Martine Roure has done a considerable amount of work. The most important thing is to apply the regulations already approved and accepted, and to make sure that those affected are aware of the laws enacted in their interest. Therefore we need action, not words. It is not sufficient to implement the principle of equal opportunities at Community level – we must make sure that everybody is aware of the fact that all citizens, regardless of their sex, race or ethnic origin, religion or views, disability, age and sexual orientation, are entitled to equal opportunities and equal treatment. Continuous information, education, cooperation with civil organisations and European citizens are important. We need campaigns that win over public opinion, and lively social dialogue. A social Europe is inconceivable without the protection of vulnerable social strata and groups that are most exposed to discrimination. Discrimination or exclusion has a hundred faces: it can be based on race, ethnic origin, religion, age group, sex, physical and mental disabilities. Everybody plays a role in the implementation of equal opportunities, from government bodies to national authorities, from the civil society to individual European citizens. Solidarity is the most appropriate and the most expedient approach to the fight for equal opportunities. We are all responsible to ensure that every person has equal opportunities to achieve their potential in any area of life. In my amendments I also emphasised that we must make every effort to implement equality, not only at Community and individual levels, but also at regional, national and local levels. I propose that the report be accepted."@en1
