".
It is with great regret that I have decided to abstain on Mrs Buitenweg’s report on equal treatment.
The principle of equal treatment of persons irrespective of political or religious beliefs, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability, is one of the founding principles of the European Union. The reality of daily life shows that much progress remains to be made in the Member States. The offensive remarks about the elderly that continue unabated are an eloquent illustration of this.
However, I am unable to subscribe to the pathways and options described in this report. I greatly fear that the good intentions will result in unending litigation and bureaucratic excess running counter to the desired objective."@en1
