"Madam President, I welcome this new experiment. I hope it is going to work. I will try to make my contribution.
The EU, and I address this mainly to Commissioner Reding, has legislated in many areas of conditions at work, including equal rights and non-discrimination, so that female, gay, disabled or ethnic minority workers are treated fairly. But, if they move across borders under the Free Movement Directive or Posted Workers Directive, they do not have the assurance of a level playing field of equal treatment outside work; for instance, in housing, education, supply of services and so on, due to the failure of the Council to agree over the last three or four years a new anti-discrimination directive.
Alongside and very much related to that, there is no guarantee of recognition of same sex marriages and civil partnerships, including in tax, property and parental rights, supposedly because Member States have prerogatives in family law.
Does it not make a mockery of EU promises of free movement and working mobility that there are no comprehensive EU guarantees for equality across the board?"@en1
