Mr President, Commissioner, the report presented by the Committee on Women’s Rights was approved by Parliament at first reading, practically in its entirety.
A new line, A-3037 N, was added to the amendments in this report, for women’s organisations which do not belong to the European lobby, but which do effective work for the equality and promotion of women.
Both this and certain other proposals by the Committee on Women’s Rights have been removed by the Council, and therefore Parliament, making use of the rights afforded it by the Treaties, since they are not obligatory expenses, is presenting them once again for approval. We are thereby acting coherently, presenting the amendments which Parliament approved on first reading.
Amongst these amendments I must also highlight line B5-331, Information Society, which is so important for the future, especially for women and their full incorporation into the labour market.
I would lastly like to warmly thank Mr Costa Neves for the very important work he has done and his sensitivity in responding to the needs we had raised. I hope that the House will approve it by a large majority, because, as you all know, since the Treaty of Amsterdam entered into force, all Community programmes must include the objective of promoting women and achieving greater equality, not only in the European Union, but also in the countries with which we have cooperation agreements, particularly in the Euro-Mediterranean area."@en1
