lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should like to compliment Mrs Ghilardotti on her initiative to draw up this report. Even though the Commissioner says that a lot is already happening at European level, I view this report rather as a start and a stimulus for building on the little that is already happening. People may say that there is a lot of expertise, or at least some, but, to be honest, I have to say that I have yet to see much evidence of this. Why are there calls for gender budgeting? It is because a number of items in the budgets of Member States and the European Union are largely only benefiting half of the population. I shall give two examples. It is common knowledge that, when it comes to allocating resources for scientific research into health care, a good deal of research is conducted on half of the population: the males and not the females. A second example is as follows. When resources are given for stimulating democratisation and respect for human rights in developing countries, it frequently happens that these resources are principally used for the benefit of one half of the population and not the other. That is why it is expressly requested that we perhaps start with an analysis of a number of budgetary items that are very gender-sensitive, where something really could be done. If this could be carried out in consultation with the Member States, I think that something positive could result. It is indeed good to have a brochure, but we are actually still only at the stage of developing a mechanism. The development of a mechanism requires the building-up of a great deal of expertise. I give my support to the Commission, and to Mrs Ghilardotti, and I hope that this own-initiative report bears fruit."@en1
