"Madam President, the Austrian political scientist and professor, Anton Pelinka, has been prosecuted following a comment he made about Mr Haider. Mr Pelinka was member of the committee of the European Observatory for Racism and Xenophobia in Vienna. According to treaty obligations, he should be receiving support from the Austrian Government, but despite repeated requests, he has received inadequate support in terms of infrastructure. In a press release, Mr Schüssel stated that, in the light of these experiences, the treaty stipulations are pitched far too high. Mr Pelinka resigned because he felt unsupported by the government and was replaced by a member of one of the parties in government.
I know that the President has always been very committed to the issue of combating racism and xenophobia. I was there when she gave her speech in Vienna to mark the opening of the Observatory. We are also responsible for the functioning of the European institutions. I would like to ask you whether you are prepared to write a letter or contact the Austrian Government to express your concern about the restriction of the freedom of expression and to point out the obligations which the government has in this respect and which it cannot escape unilaterally."@en1
