lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to begin by thanking Mrs Gröner, as rapporteur, for her committed work. In Europe, there are still misapprehensions and false stereotypes surrounding the issue of violence against women and children. The problem is too often treated as an unfortunate and natural part of life. Moreover, the victims – that is to say women and children – are often blamed. That applies to violence within the family, but also to, for example, trafficking in women and structural violence against women. That is something we must combat. Many run a high risk of being exposed to violence and abuse, something that is the concern of all of us. We are responsible for working for the effective combating of violence in the EU. As draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, my efforts have been directed towards ensuring that the purpose of DAPHNE shall be to combat and prevent all forms of violence, be it in the home or elsewhere. That is what my committee has supported, and I am pleased that the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities also agrees with this position. I am also pleased to see again amendments dealing with victims of human trafficking and the vulnerable position of street children. The DAPHNE Programme has shown itself to be one of the most successful projects within the EU and has been adapted to many different types of difficulties and of problems involving violence that could not always be foreseen from the beginning. DAPHNE has, for example, funded projects to combat female circumcision which, at the start of the programme, was not a problem that was greatly discussed. Now, the DAPHNE Programme is to be extended by a further five years. That is extremely commendable, and I am listening with interest to what the Commissioner has to say. This is an important period, however. The EU is to be enlarged by ten new Member States, which is why an increase in the budget is necessary. In the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, we have supported an amount of EUR 65 million. We believe that this is necessary and hope that our proposal will win a majority in plenary so that we can now show by our actions that we wish to combat violence against women and children."@en1
