lpv:spoken text	". I raised the issue, put to me by European citizens, of an unacceptable monopoly within the process of European funding. The “Scallon amendment” was not accepted by the Committee on Budgets. My colleagues who belong to this committee drafted an amendment in order to broaden funding for women’s groups to a wider range of women’s groups. Parliament today has debated this issue and the vote continues this monopolistic arrangement. The issue will certainly continue to be debated over the next year. It is a matter of principle that all women, and the groups that are campaigning for them, should have equal access to EU funding, most of all when its aim is to allow European organisations to be represented at UN level. People are well aware that sometimes it is necessary to take a stand on the principle of transparency and fairness in our democratic structures. Monopolistic arrangements cannot be allowed to continue. While I acknowledge that a monopolistic arrangement has been allowed to continue, I welcome the continuing allowance of EUR 600 000 and would welcome future increases, hoping, of course, that it will assist in making all women’s voices heard."@en1
