"Mr President, the role of the European Parliament – and I quote its President – is to mediate between disputing parties and countries, if necessary. Parliament should not only get involved in fire fighting, but should contribute to preventing the fire as well. Parliament should adopt, for instance, a minority framework law that guarantees minorities’ rights. Minorities are entitled to feel safe. Such a framework law will help ensure that minorities are not at the mercy of governments, extremist organisations and such actions as the Slovak language law which punishes minorities for using their mother tongue. It is unacceptable that within the European Union, minority organisations are banned, bilingual place name signs are painted over and extremist organisations stage provocative anti-minority demonstrations. Part of the European Parliament’s role is to implement legislation which protects human rights, prevents discrimination and guarantees that minorities can live as fully valued human beings in the land of their birth."@en1
