lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there is of course a tendency for its only to be women who take part in the debate whenever we have issues concerning women on the agenda. I should therefore like to begin by saying that there are in fact two men from my group who have submitted to Parliament an appeal for equality that will also be forwarded to the President. This appeal, entitled ‘Enough is enough’, calls upon all the groups to consider what real progress they have made with equality and actively to take initiatives to improve the situation. Next, I should like to thank the rapporteur for her brilliant report, which deals very well with an area in which some time needs to be devoted to the position of women, and I would pick up on a couple of individual points which I should like to emphasise. First of all, I think it is incredibly important that we should acquire statistics, and I would urge the Commission to look at how we can improve the statistical base, for any discussion about women, men and inequality is a non-starter if we do not have the necessary statistics. Whether there is to be a supervisory body or data bank, or whatever, is less important. What is crucial is that we obtain statistics. The second thing is that, in my view, it is entirely right – and this is also related specifically to this appeal – that the Commissioner should ensure that women participate when the association agreements are negotiated. We are well aware that we very often only have men around the negotiating table. When that is the case, women have already been reduced in status, and their position does not become a topic of central concern. The third thing I should like to highlight is the issue of programmes. It is crucially important to investigate what practical programmes we can offer to secure better education for women so that they themselves will also be in a position to do more to promote equality."@en1
