". To draft a report on the Annual Report on equal opportunities for women and men in the European Union 2000, which the Commission has submitted to us on an annual basis since 1996, could effectively be seen to be closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. But to enable us to prepare properly for the future, we must be familiar with the past and our history. That is why our report on the report from the Commission does indeed have a purpose. As you would expect, I voted in favour of this report, despite the fact that I would have preferred to have some of my amendments approved by the rapporteur and the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities, in order to set the record straight. Everyone in the House knows that, in the area of equal treatment and opportunities for women and men, nothing is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. But in this area, we must not throw out the baby with the bathwater either. We have an in the area of equal treatment and opportunities and we, as well as the Commission, are saying loudly and clearly that the adoption of this acquis by the candidate countries is a condition sine qua non for their accession to the European Union."@en1
