lpv:translated text	". First of all, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur, Jacques F. Poos, on his report. I am pleased that the Committee on Foreign Affairs has taken up my key demand, namely that the adoption of the Community concerning equality between women and men is an indispensable condition for membership. However, I wish to voice my disappointment, and that of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities, that other specific demands have been disregarded. In this context, I should stress that the employment rate among women in Cyprus is far lower than the Community average. Measures are required to promote women’s access to training and employment, improve the situation of women in the jobs market and help them to achieve a better balance between life and work. I therefore think it is regrettable that Cyprus is not taking part in the Community programme on equal opportunities for women and men. Given that it is considered the country that has made most progress in negotiation of the chapters concerning the Community it is hoped that in the first national programme for adoption of the Community Cyprus will confirm its involvement. In the EU Member States, the concept of gender mainstreaming has been incorporated systematically into the most important policies and reforms undertaken in recent years. In light of Cyprus’ forthcoming accession to the European Union, Cypriot legislation needs to be adapted further to bring it fully into line with the other Member States, and gender issues should be dealt with in the framework of the Karolus programme, which aims to bring about better application of the Community by an exchange of national civil servants. Finally, I should like to underline that although Cyprus does have legislation to combat trafficking in women and domestic violence, progress is still required in both these areas."@en1
