"I would like to thank the President-in-Office of the Council, Mr Seixas da Costa, very much for his reply, which gives us hope since it demonstrates that the Council understands the problem, is responding politically and perhaps even sympathises with the idea. Nevertheless, I consider his reply to be basically too retrograde. The Helsinki and Cologne Summits specifically gave the Portuguese Presidency the job of strengthening this new protection policy. You have said that you are against quotas but in favour of references. I would like to ask the Portuguese Presidency: do you not think it would be highly appropriate to include a reference, in the form of a recommendation, in this respect? I believe that the role of the European Union should not be to remain behind the United Nations or to be content merely with a reference to what Beijing was about. The European Union must be progressive. Women must clearly be involved in political decisions – also decisions with regard to peace – and I ask the Portuguese Presidency to make some reference in this respect."@en1
