"Mr President, I would like to call attention to an essential problem, which may have caused serious concerns to the rapporteur, who has indeed been very successful in including in the report certain issues and concepts with the emphasis they deserve. Such issues are, for instance, positive discrimination, and as regards traditional minorities, the issues of autonomy, self-governance and political presence.
However, I want to call attention to a very important phenomenon: unfortunately, under the general policy of prohibiting discrimination, we cannot find solutions for all minorities in different life situations. If we are really looking for solutions and not just for window-dressing measures, it is very important to address the concerns specific to each minority seriously. I would like to stress that we must differentiate between traditional and new minorities, sexual minorities and other minorities. If we do not clarify these concepts and Community problems – each of which are considerable in themselves, and require serious measures at Community level – then we are not contributing to finding a solution, but to the creation of conceptual confusion and misleading issues."@en1
