lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the report we are discussing this evening has significant implications for the citizens of the European Union, as it concerns the fight against all kinds of discrimination, which is something we still commonly encounter even now in the 21st century and in countries that are highly developed economically. The social and economic consequences of discrimination against citizens are very serious. This is why the fight against discrimination should be based on providing education in the broadest sense of the word at a very early age, and on effective information campaigns based on best practices. The Commission’s decision to declare 2007 the European Year of Equal Opportunities is a step in the right direction in the fight against discrimination. Let us hope that this will encourage protection of individual rights and an increased awareness of different forms of discrimination. However, the funds earmarked for the Year of Equal Opportunities are not sufficient to achieve the expected results. These actions should therefore also be continued in years to come. Member States should aim to guarantee equality, in terms of social and political rights, for everyone living in the European Union. Being different cannot be understood as being worse and therefore all citizens of the European Union should have the same right to a dignified life and equal opportunities for career development. That is why I strongly support Mrs Ždanoka’s report and congratulate her on a well-prepared document."@en1
