Med vedtagelsen af Rådets direktiv håber vi som medlemsstater, at man meget snart vil prioritere for det første et retligt samarbejde og en harmonisering af landenes straffelovgivning; for det andet undervisning af statslige organer og arbejdsgivere i anvendelsen af direktivet for alle fysiske og juridiske personer; for det tredje vedtagelsen af det charter for de europæiske politiske partier, der blev foreslået i 1997, for at forsvare de grundlæggende rettigheder og bekæmpe alle former for racebaseret vold; for det fjerde kollektiv søgsmålsret til enkeltpersoner, der er ofre for forskelsbehandling, og for det femte sikring af minoriteters adgang til erhvervsuddannelse, beskæftigelse, sundhedsydelser, social sikring og pensionsordninger og ligeledes sikring af deres deltagelse i det økonomiske, sociale, politiske og kulturelle liv.
Once the directive has been adopted by the Council, we hope that the Member States will quickly give immediate priority: first, to judicial cooperation and harmonisation of their criminal legislation; secondly, to instructing state agencies and employers on how to apply the directive to all natural and legal persons; thirdly, to applying the 1997 Charter of the European Political Parties on the defence of fundamental rights and the fight against all forms of racial violence; fourthly, to the right of individual victims of discrimination to take collective action; fifthly, to guaranteeing the access of minorities to vocational training, employment, health services and national insurance and pension schemes and their participation in economic, social, political and cultural life.
