"I fully agree with the honourable Member of the House that we have to tackle the causes. All such programmes are very useful to the Commission in evaluating the effective results of the actions that we are supporting with tax-payers’ money. We should not rely on the idea that all we need to do is change the law. That is not true. Changing the law is a very important instrument to fight violence against women and children, but we need to go further. That is why we are laying great emphasis on the programmes on judicial and police cooperation to make the authorities – the policemen who deal with such cases every day – more aware of how to handle these kinds of incidents.
I know that the various cultures in the Member States differ in their handling of this issue. In some Member States there is a certain tendency to regard as less relevant violence within the family. We have to put great emphasis on the fact that violence against women is always punishable."@en1
