I did not vote for the Avilés Perera report tabled on behalf of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities, not because I do not agree with the broad lines of this report. I agree, and am even certain, for example, that it is essential for the current and future Member States to take full advantage of the programming opportunities that exist with regard to the various forms of Structural Funds intervention in order to promote an integrated approach to equal opportunities for men and women and support specific actions in favour of equality. I also consider that the Structural Funds should play an important role in supporting economic and social restructuring in the candidate countries, with particular regard to the effects of this restructuring on the employment situation for women, provision of childcare services and care for other dependants.
I voted against this report because I do not agree with the wording that implies that economic restructuring, in other words the change from the communist system to a market economy, has only negative effects. This is a posthumous glorification of the communist ideology which is not to my taste. I tried to amend the text with a more subtle wording. I did not succeed in committee and the amendments were rejected in plenary. I regret this and I wanted to specify here my position in this regard."@en1
