I dette notat påstår Kommissionen simpelthen, at "direktivet vil styrke europæiske virksomheders konkurrenceevne, idet det sørger for, at de råder over en mængde kompetencer og ressourcer, der er betydeligt større end nu, og at disse kompetencer skal bruges uden skelen til race eller etnisk oprindelse".
In this form, the Commission simply states that "the Directive will strengthen the competitiveness of European companies by ensuring that they have at their disposal a wider pool of skills and resources than at present and that use is made of such skills irrespective of racial or ethnic origin" .
