"I voted in favour of the resolution concerning discrimination against workers from Central and Eastern Europe in the Netherlands. As co-author of the resolution, I would like to thank those Dutch people who have criticised the actions of the Dutch Freedom Party as going too far in their xenophobic ambitions and who are looking forward to the closure of the website, and also my fellow Members in Parliament for condemning the anti-immigration portal. In this Parliament we are united by the idea that all people are equal. We do not agree with expressions of hatred, intolerance, discrimination and exclusion spoken under populist banners. The facts show that at present the principal place where discrimination is disseminated is the media, particularly the Internet, which provides anonymity. The Internet has become a very important channel of communication which makes it possible to plan and carry out actions in the real world. We must turn this situation to our advantage. For this reason our governments must take practical steps: to ensure that national laws make it possible to prosecute when crimes are committed on-line; to create or extend educational programmes in schools, so that they cover these issues, including a European community/education campaign aimed at encouraging social openness to immigrants as well as assurances that actions aimed at combating crime do not threaten freedom of speech."@en1
