At a ceremony held in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 12 June 1986, Pierre PFLIMLIN, EP President, Hans van den BROEK, Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs and President-in-Office of the Council, and Jacques DELORS, President of the European Commission, signed the Declaration against racism and xenophobia, just after the vote session in the plenary. The initiative is a response to the public indignation aroused by the xenophobic attacks on migrant workers and their families which had taken place in a number of Member States.
