lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I, of course, welcome the introduction of the new EU Daphne Programme. This Daphne Programme will be put in place for the period 2000-2004. Its primary function relates to the introduction of measures to combat violence against children, young persons and women. This commands the overwhelming support of non-governmental organisations and women’s groups within the European Union. Total funding will amount to £20 million and this will be allocated in two principal areas – the exchange of information and cooperation at Community level and the raising of public awareness. The Daphne Programme will aim to promote information campaigns on potential risks of violence and ways of avoiding them, encourage pilot projects and innovative measures and help to create a Community information source to assist NGOs. I support this programme because of its social values. However, rehabilitation programmes for children, young people and women must be an intrinsic part of this new initiative. On a broader level, I support the debate taking place today on the need to promote equality in our society. It is important in the context of the next round of EU Structural Funds 2000-2006 that measures under the various EU programmes be screened so as to guarantee that they comply with all national and EU legislation in the field of equal opportunities. The enactment of the Amsterdam Treaty on 1 May this year also substantially strengthens the legal basis for Community action in favour of the equality between men and women. Equality between men and women is also at the heart of new European Employment Policies. The European Commission, of course, analyses very carefully all action plans on employment which are forwarded to us on an annual basis by the EU Member States so as to ensure that comprehensive and streamlined measures to promote equality in our society are supported."@en1
