"The defence of the rights and the protection of people who are victims of discrimination must be a priority for the EU, but this can only be effective and useful if it guarantees legal certainty for the persons involved, whilst avoiding a disproportionate burden for the economic players targeted.
In this area, it is essential to remain vigilant as regards respect for the division of competences between the European Union and the Member States and to ensure that Parliament adheres strictly to what the legal basis allows.
The text adopted today is satisfactory in certain respects, especially in relation to the fight against discrimination against disabled people, but the vague concepts it contains, the legal uncertainties that it maintains and the superfluous requirements that it introduces make it legally impractical and therefore ineffective in its application.
Since excessive regulation cannot be a solution, the delegation has defended the amendment rejecting the Commission’s proposal, as existing texts on this issue have not yet been applied in some Member States that are subject to infringement procedures.
In effect, the French delegation, which supports the objective of this directive but is partially dissatisfied, preferred to abstain from the final vote."@en1
