lpv:translated text	". At first sight, we could ask ourselves why we need to be particularly concerned about the promotion of women’s rights in Mediterranean countries. Equal opportunities policy is the same throughout the European Union. We do not for one moment think, for example, that due to the particular circumstances or the mentality of men in Mediterranean Member States, implementing equal opportunities policy, a policy which is now firmly grounded in the Treaty of Amsterdam, would be any more difficult there. We would not even call the men from these countries ‘macho’. They are certainly no more or less macho than men from Northern States. But it is clear that, in Mediterranean countries that are not, or not yet, members of the European Union, the situation of women is more worrying in many regards, and that we need, and this is perfectly legitimate, to devote more attention to trying to remedy incidences of unacceptable discrimination. I am therefore in favour of this report, with two reservations. I believe that positive actions such as those laid down in paragraph 5b of the resolution and the creation of infrastructure should permit not only women but men as well to combine working and family life. Paragraph 14 advocates the possibility of creating a Euro-Mediterranean Development Bank. Do we really need to create a new bank, when we already have the European Investment Bank, which is quite capable of granting loans within the framework of the Barcelona process? We need to be wary of creating precedents. If we create a Euro-Mediterranean Development Bank, why not create one for the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, or anywhere else for that matter?"@en1
