lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, although my political group does not share the same positions as the rapporteur, I should like to thank Mrs Ždanoka for her work and her contribution to this subject, which I hold dear. The rapporteur has demonstrated her desire to advance further in the collective and daily fight against discrimination. This political will is, in fact, crucial, and I should like to take advantage of this opportunity, once again, to remind the Council, which is still blocking the framework-decision against racism and xenophobia, that this interruption is altogether unacceptable. My group is not completely satisfied with the report: several paragraphs are long, unclear and the proposed definitions may give rise to misinterpretation. Two points trouble us in particular. Firstly, paragraph 11: my group cannot accept the rapporteur's proposal to grant migrants of Roma origin and non-citizens the right to vote in all elections, as that is going much too far. If migrants or non-citizens wish to participate in the life of the country in which they are settled, then they can quite simply request to become full citizens of that country, provided that the country helps them to gain access to citizenship. Secondly, paragraph 30: it is obviously crucial to treat all forms of discrimination on an equal footing. Combating homophobia in our societies is therefore of the utmost importance. That is why the first part of the paragraph concerned is entirely satisfactory, but we will not vote in favour of the second part calling for the principle of mutual recognition to be applied to same-sex marriages. We must respect the rules and the laws of the various Member States. Ladies and gentlemen, the message that our Parliament must send out is clear: yes, we must respect each individual, and yes, we must promote tolerance, equal opportunities and diversity, but we must do so while respecting the principle of subsidiarity."@en1
