Translate the following English sentence to French:
"Revision, or even repeal, of Article 312 of the criminal code, which was referred to earlier and which is the basis on which Mr Birdal was found guilty of, and I quote, "incitement to hatred" , seems absolutely essential in this respect."
La révision, voire l'abrogation, de l'article 312 du code pénal, qui a été cité et qui est à la base de la condamnation de M. Birdal pour, je cite, "incitation à la haine", semble à ce titre totalement incontournable.
