Unfortunately, in reality it's too often the last solution that is sought after. This causes a massive impact on... 22/06/2022 | 11:56:30 Dear President, Madam Petra BAYR, Madam Ute STEYER, Dear Colleagues, In the name of the members of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination, I would like to congratulate our rapporteur Ms Petra BAYR for her work on this report and for her dedication.
