I am voting in favour of the adoption of the report by Mrs Roure entitled ‘Combating racism and xenophobia: progress in the negotiations on the framework decision’
Racially motivated crimes remain an ongoing problem in all Member States. It is estimated that over nine million people become victims of racially motivated crime every year. At the same time, the significant differences between legal provisions on combating racism and xenophobia in European Union Member States make it impossible to combat these incidents effectively at cross-border or European level.
Accordingly, clear political support should be given to the Europe of citizens and the framework decision adopted so as to provide strong protection for fundamental rights. In this connection, a sound legal framework aimed at combating racism and xenophobia should also be developed by facilitating the swift adoption of the horizontal directive on combating discrimination pursuant to Article 13 of the Treaty on European Union, providing for effective, proportional and deterrent penal sanctions."@en1
