lpv:translated text	". The work of the rapporteur in this case has been groundbreaking and I would like to thank him for this. It is true that several of the reports touch on anti-discrimination, but this one has gone a step further than previous reports. Protection of minorities means more than simply prohibiting discrimination; it takes political thinking a little closer to creating equal opportunities. However, when the two issues are linked together, numerous problems arise, and so the report has ended up rather large; the issue is complex and so the report examines a whole raft of new connections. The report deals first of all with protection of minorities. Since minority rights are an integral part of human rights and the latter are among the incontrovertible fundamental values of the European region, there is no doubt that the issue on the agenda is unquestionably important and inevitable. In an enlarging Europe, it is only fair that the problem of dual standards should arise in connection with an issue such as this. While the Copenhagen criteria clearly set out EU expectations with regard to protection of minorities, Member States have not so far been obliged to adjust their policy on minorities accordingly. In the new Member States, which have been bringing their policy on minorities into line with Europe prior to accession, there is a danger that a rise in nationalism might not only bring this process to a halt, but also lead to an increase in anti-minority incidents. This is why a monitoring system is indeed needed. The specific problems that arose in the course of preparing the report – problems relating to the varied situation of different minorities on the one hand and the universal nature of human rights on the other – were a clear indication that we need a policy like this within the Union. I strongly endorse the section of the report that emphasises that this policy must be based on the fundamental European principles of subsidiarity and self-governance."@en1
