Swedish MEP Eva-Britt Svensson, who chairs parliament's women's rights and gender equality committee, told participants that the EU should think about changing legislation on transgender rights because "things aren't happening quickly enough".

"We've got to improve our know-how and expertise in decision making bodies so we can tackle the discrimination that transgender people are still subject to in society," she said.

"It is 2010, and people are still being discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender."
