lpv:translated text	"The European Institute for Gender Equality is currently being established in Vilnius, and it should begin operations this year. As you know, Slovakia and Slovenia also wanted this institute to be founded in their capitals; the decision adopted was favourable to Lithuania, though, and it was also endorsed by the European Parliament. However, then came an incident when the city managers of Lithuania's capital Vilnius refused to issue a permit for the promotion of the anti-discrimination campaign – in other words, they did not allow the entry of the ‘Euro Truck’, which is already making its fourth trip across Europe distributing information about the campaign ‘For Diversity. Against Discrimination’ and about the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All. When the European Commission issued a statement about the decision of this city's administration, there was some speculation that the European Commission might be having doubts about whether it is worth establishing the European Institute for Gender Equality in Vilnius. I am absolutely certain that Vilnius, which has since antiquity been famous as a city of tolerance, truly deserves to be the headquarters of the European Institute for Gender Equality. I would also like to stress that not one country is beyond reproach when it comes to the subject of human rights and freedoms, and every Member State of the EU has much to do in the fields of tolerance and the struggle against discrimination based on race, ethnic background, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion and so on. Let us work together."@en1
