".
The presentation of the report by Mrs Kratsa, whom I congratulate on her excellent work, makes up for the culpable silence on the fundamental role of women in the strategy for rural development.
At a time when we are adopting ‘gender budgeting’, we can only insist on the need to be able to quantify and assess this participation accurately.
We must also consider the social protection available to women and the support which is necessary and specific to their professional development and to their quality of life. This is all the more important on the eve of enlargement.
The aim of this recognition will only be usefully achieved if the Commission applies itself to submitting a revised directive that would finally enable a genuine policy of equality to be developed in this sector, which should lead to the balanced representation of women farmers in the various decision-making arenas, access to separate social rights, the principle of equal pay, particular focus on the needs of women in rural areas when actions are selected and extending the LEADER + programme to cover the new situations created by enlargement.
This is how we will bring working spouses out of invisibility and make democracy work."@en1
