"Mr. President, following the conventional statements according to which 2008 shall be the year of relaunching social Europe, the so-called social package represents a set of legislative initiatives whose convergence remains in the phase of intention for the moment. Maybe the time has come for us to approach more firmly and diligently a set of matters whose direct impact on the citizens is greater than ever.
Under these circumstances, we need to undertake the mission of ensuring non-discriminatory living and working conditions for all the Community citizens. First of all, in this context, resuming discussions on a Community minimum wage seems not only opportune but also necessary. Secondly, the same thing is also valid for creating unitary conditions in all the EU countries regarding the Community labour market. It is not right that, even today, the attitude of several EU governments toward the European citizens is differentiated according to their country of origin.
In the same context, the Commission’s initiative to improve the visibility and work methods under the EU Strategy on social integration and protection and to consolidate its interaction with other policies appears to be significant. I gladly took note of the Commission’s proposal for a horizontal directive on combating discrimination in fields other than employment."@en1
