lpv:translated text	"The Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities was right to also look into the opportunities and obligations that the existence of the EU Structural Funds can deliver for promoting equal opportunities. The Treaty of Amsterdam and the regulations relating to the Structural Funds also make mention of this. In practice little has been achieved when it comes to infrastructure, transport, environment, urban and rural development, fishing, enterprise policy, the information society, research, technological development, training and in-service training. The rapporteur is asking for support for better child care, care for the elderly, better organisation of working hours and a different division of tasks within families. She is also asking for a balanced participation of women in bodies that select and make decisions about projects at local, regional and national levels, and for sanctions against projects that do not meet these criteria. I support this proposal because everything it contains is fair and well-intentioned. However, I do not think it will do much to solve the present problems. The role of the Structural Funds is going to diminish for the current EU Member States or even disappear altogether, in favour of projects for the newcomers. It will be good if feminist criteria are taken seriously into account from the beginning for these new projects."@en1
