"Discrimination is a problem which, in these days of European unification, is a subject which is extremely relevant and which we must not ignore under any circumstances. Despite the fact that we have already discussed this subject many times, the effects remain unsatisfactory.
The different forms of discrimination are a significant problem. Discrimination on the basis of ethnic or racial origin is forbidden both in the labour market and outside it. Unequal treatment because of religion, worldview, disability, age or sexual orientation is currently forbidden only in the workplace.
I think attention should be paid to fighting discrimination not only in the professional area, but also outside it. Discrimination should be defined in the same way regardless of what kind it is.
Prevention of unequal treatment is a highly significant question, but we must not forget about people who suffer discrimination. We must make sure that it is possible for them to exercise their rights, and we must strive for the consistent punishment of people who discriminate.
Discrimination is a very important subject, both in connection with the private lives of citizens and with the process of European integration. I fully agree with the rapporteur, Mrs Buitenweg, and I thank her for a very good and comprehensive report."@en1
