Trods disse indvendinger imod Rådets fremgangsmåde og min holdning om, at det er bedre at integrere end at isolere, så var det vigtigt klart at vise, hvor Europa-Parlamentet står i spørgsmål om racisme, hvorfor jeg stemte for beslutningen ved den endelige afstemning.
Despite these objections of mine to the Council 's action and despite my view that it is better to work for integration than to employ isolating tactics, it was important to show clearly where the European Parliament stands on questions of racism, which is why I voted in favour of the resolution at the final vote.
