". Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Hennicot-Schoepges for her work on this report. Tomorrow we will approve the report on the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (2008), an initiative that will undoubtedly promote dialogue amongst all cultures and people of different origins residing in the European Union. 2008 will contribute to integration and cohesion within our societies, as well as peaceful governance throughout the international community. The aim is to make it possible to turn this diversity into an opportunity for everybody. The States and all competent levels of administration should promote educational policies based on values and respect for the diversity and equality of people, eradicating the prejudices that are often the cause of distrust and xenophobic attitudes. A firm and responsible approach is therefore required, aimed at promoting knowledge, cooperation, respect and mutual understanding. This dialogue, however, must be based on the conviction that culture is made up of a whole range of very diverse values and traditions – including religious traditions – and respect for all cultural sensitivities and all religious beliefs, and I believe that the latter are a private matter for each individual. This programme is clearly directed towards the members of the European Union, but, as I have said, in view of its importance in terms of world governance, it should complement the only world-level project for promoting intercultural dialogue that exists within the framework of the United Nations: the Alliance of Civilisations. As you know, it was an initiative of the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, and the Turkish Prime Minister, and it currently has the support of the United Nations as a whole. I am convinced that, when this programme is applied, this complementarity will become clear, because in reality the two programmes must work together."@en1
