lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are aware of the progress that has been made in recent years with regard to the situation of women, particularly the legislative progress, but there are still situations of real inequality in everyday life. The low level of representation of women in political and economic spheres and gender-related violence are two clear signs that structural discrimination against women is continuing. This programme will undoubtedly help to ensure that the concerns, needs and aspirations of women are taken into account in all policies. The current situation requires that positive action measures in favour of women be implemented.

We especially need to guard against and eradicate trafficking in women and domestic violence.

In relation to this objective we will support the organisation of awareness campaigns and a European Equality Week in cooperation with the Member States, as the Commission proposes. We think that it is very useful to create a web site, not only due to the increasing use of computerised media, but because this will help women to familiarise themselves more and more with this new world from which they must not be excluded. Something that we think is of particular importance is the evaluation of the programme …"@en1
