Boguslaw Rogalski (IND/DEM).  - (PL) Mr President, I
should like to alert 
the House to violations of human rights by German officials and
courts. The 
problem relates to Poles who were previously married to German
spouses but 
are now divorced, and who are treated as no better than
paedophiles. The 
courts invariably award custody of any children to the German
parent, and 
take it for granted that the German language and culture are
superior to 
their Polish equivalents.
'Early Germanisation' and 'children of German descent' were
phrases used in 
Nuremberg by criminals charged with the Germanisation of Polish
children. 
Similar phrases are used today by officials working for the
Jugendamt, the 
German Child and Youth Welfare Office, to justify German-imposed
bans on 
meetings between Poles and their children. Even if such meetings
do take 
place, speaking Polish is strictly prohibited, and it is
instilled in the 
children that everything associated with the Polish language is
inferior. 
The Jugendamt claims that the Polish language has a negative
influence on 
the children's education, but such assumptions are racist. Poland
has 
already experienced a German education system claiming to be
superior to all 
others at earlier stages of its history.
Is this what passes for respect of human rights in Germany? Such
practices 
violate one of the European Union's basic principles, namely the
promotion 
of the linguistic and cultural diversity of its citizens.
