"I welcome the adoption of the Rights and Citizenship programme (2014-2020) with a total budget of EUR 439 million. The new programme succeeds and builds upon two current European programmes – the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship Programme and Daphne III, as well as the anti-discrimination and diversity and the gender equality chapters of the Programme for Employment and Social Solidarity (PROGRESS). This new programme gives Europe the means to protect all of its citizens. It will be used to combat discrimination on all the grounds set out in Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights – sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, member of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation. I very much welcome the fact that Parliament succeeded in referencing Article 21 of the Charter, as this is broader and more inclusive than the grounds for action set out in the anti-discrimination article of the treaties (Article 19 TFEU). I appreciate that Parliament and the Council only reached final agreement quite late but I would urge the Commission to issue calls for proposals as soon as possible in 2014."@en1
