"The European Union and its institutions have a duty and responsibility to uphold respect for human rights, including those of all minorities. It must therefore reject and combat any form of discrimination, specifically as regards sexual orientation.
In this context, I support Parliament’s resolution as an initiative reaffirming the values and principles upon which the European Union’s identity is founded, without putting the fundamental principle of subsidiarity at risk. I would stress acknowledgement of and respect for the right of a Member State, such as Lithuania, to freely discuss and compare different concepts and ideas during the process of amending and passing national legislation. I would also stress the Lithuanian authorities’ reaffirmation of their determination to respect the European legal framework and not go against it, as well as to promote respect for human rights."@en1
