"Mr President, it is a matter of great satisfaction to me personally and to all the members of our committee that we are debating the extension of the DAPHNE Programme today and are programming it for the next five years in an enlarged European Union. Although the policy for combating violence is the duty of and comes within the jurisdiction of the Member States, DAPHNE Ι made us all more aware of the consequences which violence has on the physical and mental well-being of individuals and of society as a whole. Our ambition with DAPHNE ΙΙ is to raise public awareness in a broader and more systematic way, to improve research into the causes of and practical solutions to the problems and to get closer to target groups and individuals. The results of the research referred to by Mrs Fraisse, who has experience in research, are very important and they convince us that we really need to engage in research more systematically, because we often fund actions which are commonplace and do not offer any added value. I agree with the proposal by the European Commission on the amount of funding for the programme, which our political group has rounded to EUR 50 million. We believe that it is not the money that is lacking, it is the right action directed at the right targets and a suitable legal basis that are lacking. This money, if used properly, will be sufficient. In the second stage of the implementation of the DAPHNE Programme, the experience we have acquired must help us so that the actions funded are more qualitative and efficient, complement national policies and are coordinated with national objectives. My political group also believes that this programme must remain within the framework of the countries of the European Union, in other words that it should not be extended to neighbouring countries. The problems we face are already numerous and serious. Violence is a global phenomenon and we are very concerned about the policy we need to apply to combat it in the countries with which we have association agreements and other forms of commercial cooperation, but this needs to be done on the basis of other, special policies."@en1
