lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on behalf of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities, I should like to thank Commissioner Verheugen for his efforts in the area of equality. Every single time the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities has spoken with the Commissioner, he has not hesitated to state that the ‘acquis communitaire’, if I may use that term, should also apply in that area. The Commissioner cannot be reproached for the fact that the ‘acquis’ was only introduced at the last moment in a long list of countries. It means, however, that I should like to call upon the Commissioner and his colleagues to continue to monitor this area so that we do not only consistently obtain the necessary facts but also ensure that the countries supply these. To the President-in-Office of the Council, I should like to say that, in my opinion, the Member States have a special obligation towards women, for it is one thing for us to get the governments to accept membership and something else to get the people to do so. Women form more than half of the population, and what women in the candidate countries have so far had cause to note is high unemployment affecting women in particular. It is very important that attention be given specifically to the area of women's rights when we come to the next phase: that of convincing people that enlargement is in actual fact a good idea. I believe that the Member States have a contribution to make to this area and that they and the Commission together have a special contribution to make."@en1
