lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am pleased to see this issue being addressed and I condemn the human rights violations committed against the estimated 260 million people worldwide suffering from caste-based discrimination. Caste systems are unjust as they divide people into unequal and hierarchical social groups. Those at the bottom are considered lesser human beings, impure and polluting to other caste groups. Known as untouchables or Dalits, they are often forcibly assigned the most dirty and most hazardous jobs and many are subjected to forced and bonded labour and are kept in severe poverty. Without doubt, when relevant, there should be a caste-based discrimination clause in EU international trade agreements and association agreements. The Commission should also take steps to combat this discrimination within Europe’s borders, as no community anywhere should be exempt from equality legislation and from human rights protection."@en1
