Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12

~~12.~~ 12. Calls on the Member States to take measures to endow the national human rights institutions set up under the United Nations’ ‘Paris principles’ with independent status vis-à-vis the executive and sufficient financial resources, taking account, in particular, of the fact that one of these bodies’ tasks is to review human rights policies with the aim of identifying failings and suggesting improvements, on the understanding that effectiveness is measured primarily by the way in which problems are prevented rather than simply resolved; urges the Member States which have not yet done so to set up the aforementioned national human rights institutions;

Paragraph 14

14. Points out that it regards it as essential in political terms to incorporate the idea of promoting fundamental rights among the aims to be pursued when simplifying or restructuring the acquis communautaire; calls for every new policy, legislative proposal and programme to be accompanied by an impact assessment concerning respect for fundamental rights and for that assessment to form an integral part of the justification for the proposal and hopes that the Member States will also adopt similar impact assessment instruments in the subsequent transposition of Community law into domestic law;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30

30. Calls on the Commission to continue its work with a view to submitting a proposal for a legislative package including the proposal, deferred to date, to extend the scope of Directive 2000/43/EC to all other forms of discrimination, thus implementing Article 21 of the Charter, which provides greater leeway than Article 13 of the Treaty establishing the European Community in that it makes reference to further forms of discrimination: colour, social origin, genetic features, language, political or other opinions, membership of a minority, property and birth; stresses once more that the effect of granting preferential treatment in legislation to particular forms of discrimination is to introduce a kind of hierarchy between them, which should not be the case;deleted
