policymakers. One of the things that we will be doing will be to jointly seek solutions to racial and ethnic minorities increased participation in decision –making in the development and implementation of policy initiatives to address discrimination and inequality. We also want to support the exchange of ideas and share perspectives and best practice through the continuance of the transatlantic dialogue. We will seek to organise a second Trans-Atlantic dialogue and Black European Summit sometime next year. We will develop some common goals over the next months and promote participation of Blacks in Europe in various decision making bodies. We will create a network to support elected officials and we will seek to cooperate with various institutions and civil society. We would welcome your support in pursuing these objectives. Madam chair, Let me make a few recommendations: I recommend that States take active measures to encourage Political parties in Europe to adopt a code of conduct with regards to the issue of discrimination and racism but also Policy guidelines should be adopted in dealing with extreme right-wing organizations. The EU commission organises consultations and seminars on representation and participation of people of African descent in the political and decision-making processes. The Black European Summit will be happy to cooperate and facilitate such a process if resources are made available.
