lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in my opinion, it was very important for the European Parliament and the Council to reach a decision on the Daphne programme for 2000-2003. To guarantee compliance with the common Treaty we should take a positive view of this kind of project. In order to achieve a high level of health we must attend to physical, mental and social needs. Violence against women and domestic violence are multidimensional problems, which have serious and wide-ranging effects on health. This is not only about violations of human rights, but about barriers to equality and development. The fear of violence and harassment is a hindrance to children, young people and women, making it difficult for them to participate fully in normal social life. Violence is also responsible for considerable economic, social and health costs to individuals, Member States and the whole Community. We must also remember that yesterday, in this House, an agreement on the rights of children was discussed. This agreement, too, emphasises a child’s right to a safe life and the recognition of his or her human dignity. In my country, Finland, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has launched a project for 1998 – 2002 to prevent violence against women; the endorsement of the Daphne programme was very important also from this standpoint. The project will focus on violence against women, a reinforcement of the attitudes towards violence, a reduction in the level of violence as well as the development and enhancement of services for victims and the perpetrators of violence. One way to achieve these goals is to develop international cooperation, relying on an exchange of good working methods and experience, and on networking, especially within the EU. Weeding out violence will only be possible through continued efforts."@en1
