lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the problem with a report like Mrs Buitenweg’s is that one starts from worthy principles and good intentions, but unfortunately a wide gulf separates these from actual reality. Of course discrimination on grounds of race or origin is reprehensible. The question is whether that discrimination is as widespread as people would always have us believe. The latest annual report of EUMC, the European Union Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, talks of an increase in the phenomenon, but cannot give concrete figures to back this up. EUMC cannot even provide a generally accepted definition of what discrimination is. All too often the assumption is that virtually all problems involving immigrants are the result of alleged discrimination against them. This has disastrous effects, because it absolves whole population groups from personal responsibility. This policy of molly-coddling and the culture of victimhood have only made the problem worse, and I am happy to endorse the minority position expressed by Koenraad Dillen."@en1
