lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, it will not come as a surprise to anyone that I, as a member of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities, will be broaching the subject of women, for a not inconsiderable majority of the population of the candidate countries consists of women. Very vulnerable women, at that. Let us not forget that most accession countries are also countries of origin and transit of trafficking in women. Let us also, therefore, discuss women for a change, as opposed to farmers, employers, trade unions, and the like. Let us talk about this large majority whom we wish to make Europe-minded and not frightened of Europe. If we do not devote any attention to that group, things are bound to go wrong. We therefore need to set up a proper information campaign by means of which women’s organisations, but also all individual women in the country or in the cities, can be reached for the purpose of explaining, among other things, the as it relates to women. In that way, Europe stands a better chance of being accepted, and the situation for women will improve considerably. Finally, I should like to point out that, in his speech this morning, Commissioner Verheugen failed altogether to mention the situation of women in the candidate countries, something which I deeply regret."@en1
