"Mr President, the struggle for human rights to be respected and the fight against any type of discrimination should be a European Union objective during the next meeting in Geneva. For that reason, I welcome the fact that the European Union has taken the step to take part in the special debate that has been organised about the situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, given that this will be the first debate on the report on LGBT people, drafted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. European Union involvement is necessary in this very serious issue, and so that the crisis does not become an excuse to marginalise basic rights and to cover up the discrimination that many of these people suffer in Europe and throughout the world. In addition, is it important to raise the issue of religious freedom, remembering, at the same time, that the European Union must maintain an appropriate balance when it comes to any type of belief, and that the right to change religion or not practise religion exists, and to deal with the situation in some Member States where special tax regimes and concordats are in place for certain religions."@en1
