lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the own-initiative report by Mrs Avilés Perea makes us realise that the massive, ambitious and financially generous Structural Fund policy has done little to help women, despite the fact that the 1991 framework directive applicable to all the funds sets equality as one of its basic objectives. We have seen that, despite the Member States’ commitment to incorporate the objective of mainstreaming equal opportunities in the Community Support Frameworks, this commitment has not been honoured. There is a lack of specialised monitoring mechanisms, adequate information, adequate quantitative and qualitative indicators and adequate preparation and training of officials in charge, as the Commissioner mentioned. The previous speakers referred to all these shortcomings and the opportunities lost for promoting equality and creating infrastructures which will have a direct and positive impact on women’s lives. My point is that there is no public debate on this issue in the Member States; no debate about their obligations, about the need for evaluation and about the need for a policy change. It is very significant that this debate is being held at the same time as the mid-term review and we must continue and extend it to the Member States; we must help to broaden this debate, including in the new Member States and we must give them to understand that the Structural Funds and the new structural policy will give them an important tool with which to meet the challenges they face. We must also work with them to ensure that the new structural policy includes appropriate policies to plug the current gaps and an understanding and awareness of the need for the decisions made in the Member States to be put into practice."@en1
