At the time of my investiture speech before the European Parliament, I undertook personally to make the pursuit of equal opportunities a key thread of Community policy and I think I can affirm that at the half-way stage of its term of office, this Commission has clearly demonstrated, by the multiplicity of the initiatives adopted, that it is keeping its word.
I min tale i Europa-Parlamentet i anledning af debatten ved indsættelsen af den nye Kommission forpligtede jeg mig personligt til at gøre bestræbelsen på at fremme lige muligheder til en ledetråd i Fællesskabets politik, og jeg mener, at Kommissionen her halvvejs igennem embedsperioden gennem de mange initiativer, den har taget, klart har vist, at den har holdt ord.
