lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, enlargement is not merely a project for the ruling classes, but will also, if it succeeds, be an enormous triumph for democracy. The EU will soon have 450 million citizens, and over half of them are women. If women are to take their share in building Europe, information must be targeted at them and they must be involved in specific ways. This parliamentary term has seen us developing our strategy for gender mainstreaming and finding room for it in the Budget process, but its successes are not as evident as they could be, in that women are still generally not visible in the policy areas and we still generally do not see them occupying positions of leadership in the institutions. Women make up only 14% of the observers from the candidate countries, only 17% of the members of the Convention, and only 25% of the Commissioners. Whilst women make up 70% of the staff in category C, not one of Parliament’s Directors-General is a woman. Our resolution on gender mainstreaming proposes a whole range of actions to set benchmarks for the horizontal task of deliberately bringing women into the institutions, such as monitoring the success of leave for educational purposes, retraining, career and personal development, and so on. Commissioner, you are now encouraging high expectations of gender budgeting, the implementation of which will mean the professional ‘gendering’ of every committee, every policy area, and every one of the Directorates-General. We need to identify women as a target group when thinking in terms of the visibility of information campaigns, particularly in elections, and that we should involve women in every area of foreign policy – for example, in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and Iraq. DAPHNE was a good challenge, and so, of course, are the internal policy areas such as the Structural Funds, for example."@en1
