"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Member said that violence kills. No woman, no child in any country is immune from this violence. This violence is both physical and mental, both private and public and it costs the lives of 1.5 million people each year. DAPHNE is justifiably a beacon programme that seeks to combat the root causes of violence against the most vulnerable, namely women and children. Action aimed at preventing violence, combating violence and providing support lies at the heart of this programme. The number of DAPHNE projects is constantly increasing, and the first phase of the programme has been enormously successful. This demonstrates that DAPHNE is an appropriate instrument, and that the problems it addresses are of vital concern to the people of Europe. It is important we take account of the increase in the number of projects, the expectations of the NGOs and the enlargement of the European Union. These factors provide ample justification for the need to increase the programme’s budget. The budget only allowed 13% of the projects to be financed. For action to be efficient and effective, a bigger budget is needed. If the allocated budget is not increased, I think Europe would be guilty of failing to assist people in danger. By increasing the budget, the European Union will be sending a strong signal concerning the level of its commitment to this problem, something it could rightly be proud of. Furthermore, in order to be effective, we need to differentiate our studies and research to take account of gender and age. Combating violence, in all its forms, is not limited to a single programme called DAPHNE. This work should become an integral part of the policy in respect of the dignity that the European Union should afford all its citizens in all its Member States."@en1
