CNN.com - Claude Moraes: Positive agenda needed to achieve race conference goals - September 3, 2001 (848 words) |
 | Claude Moraes is a British Labour Party Member of the European Parliament, and is currently the party's spokesman for the Employment and Social Affairs Committee and the first vice president of the European Union's delegation to the UN World Conference Against Racism. |
| CLAUDE MORAES: There is sadness, clearly, after this development, because many of us at this conference are from across the world, and this is a major setback. |
| MORAES: It is very important that governments in Europe and around the world take seriously the threat of extremism, which often uses the difficult emotive issue of asylum as a scapegoat for other problems which exist in societies. |
