17 May 2013, Brussels – In her speech today Viviane Reding, Vice-President of the EU Commission, noted, "Our laws and our policies are supporting the fight against discrimination of LGBT people.
One key achievement of the EU is our Charter of Fundamental Rights which, since the Lisbon Treaty, is legally binding on EU institutions when they propose laws and on Member States whenever they implement EU laws. The text is unambiguous. It prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation."
