"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission welcomes Mrs Parvanova’s report on the social integration of women belonging to ethnic minority groups.
The Commission recognises that this group in particular experiences numerous disadvantages and countless forms of discrimination in nearly every area of life, especially where access to employment, education, healthcare and housing is concerned. The Commission has stressed the importance of combating the many forms of discrimination faced by women belonging to ethnic minority groups in its road map for equality between women and men 2006-2010.
We must use all the tools at our disposal to support their economic and social integration, because we must respect both the fundamental values and the fundamental rights of individuals, and also because demographic developments make this economically justifiable.
The aim, in practice, is to guarantee the full exercise of one’s rights through the application of all relevant EU legislation, notably the Race Directive; to ensure the best possible use of the EU Structural Funds; and to focus on minority groups in the workplace at EU level by promoting social inclusion and by combating poverty.
The Commission will continue to stress the importance of integrating women belonging to ethnic minority groups in its forthcoming strategy for equality between women and men, which it will adopt this month.
With reference also to what Mrs Köstinger said, I am well aware that, even in the common agricultural policy, the role of women in the rural community is an issue that ought to be addressed more clearly in the future."@en1
