In a statement, the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU announced that today, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia and Intersexphobia, a conference was held with several countries of the community bloc to "discuss the progress and obstacles in the implementation of the EU strategy for equal rights for LGBTQIA+ people" (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, 'Queer', Intersex+).
The meeting also discussed what the European Commission should do in the future, less than a month before the elections for the European Parliament, which will be the beginning of a process to form the next community executive.
"The signatory countries of this declaration commit themselves, namely, to implement national LGBTQIA+ strategies and to support the appointment of a commissioner for Equality in the next Commission. [The countries] also call on the Commission to continue and implement a new strategy to improve the rights of LGBTQIA+ people during the next legislature, allocating sufficient resources and working with civil society," they added.
The signatories of this declaration are Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Denmark, Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Malta, Estonia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Slovenia, France and Sweden.
The countries that signed the declaration also want there to be greater attention to violence against people from this community, which "has reached a new peak" and "mainly affects young transgender and intersex people".
