"Mr President, due to the lack of time, I will talk about two shortcomings for which I criticise the report. On the one hand, the report neither mentions nor addresses the issue of racism, despite the comments of NGOs. In my opinion, this is a very basic error, as racist behaviour is a serious obstacle to the fulfilment of citizenship and civil rights in the EU, and there has been a dramatic increase in right-wing extremism in the EU.
The other problem area is denial of the right of free movement of persons in the case of ethnic minorities, and this is mainly due to the existence of various barriers. There can be no doubting that the free movement of ethnic and religious minorities is frustrated on a daily basis. This applies particularly to the Roma. Enforcement of the legal right to free movement must also include the right not to be discriminated against, and it must be applied in this sense, for example, in the case of illegal deportations or other violations of this right. I firmly believe that anti-discrimination must be a central feature of EU citizenship, and we must ensure that it is adequately transposed into existing legislation."@en1
