lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, we waited with a great deal of anticipation for the Commission’s communication on the strategy which it intends to apply to gender equality over the next five years. Unfortunately, the time available to us in committee did not give us a chance to process either the communication or Mrs Eriksson’s report although, having said that, we did make every possible effort to respond to the objectives set by the European Commission. We do, of course, agree with the Commission’s justification of the need to integrate the question of equality into all aspects of European policy as well as adopting special measures. We also trust – and here we agree with the rapporteur – that the Commission will present a detailed budget for the programme, especially as regards the allocation of funds between the five high-priority areas. At the same time, we must stress the need for complementarity between the measures and main lines of approach in the areas of economic life, equal participation and representation, social rights, the civil society and the roles and stereotypes of the two sexes. We trust that the programme will be open to all of society, that knowledge of it will spread far and wide, especially in women’s organisations, that it will provide an opportunity for dialogue and for raising awareness in all the decision-making centres in all the Member States and that numerous agencies will have the chance to make good use of it. Women will then feel close to Europe and Europe will benefit from the interesting and innovative ideas which will be formulated as a result of their connections with this programme. We think it is extremely important to promote a positive image of women and visibility of their work and importance. We think that these projects will help women gain self-confidence in their role. Finally, we trust, as was said during the previous plenary when we debated older parliamentary reports, that we will have an evaluation procedure of substance and consistency."@en1
