lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mrs Dybkjær’s report deals with something of which all of us in this House have very long experience: actual life in the political organisations in which we participate. Commissioner Wallström said that men elect men. Yes, men in political parties, especially, elect men. They elect men to a greater extent than the electorate does, a fact that is very interesting. When women enter politics, the organisation of political work changes, and new issues appear on the political agenda. What is more, women naturally have different political and ideological perceptions. In the course of last year, we saw the composition of the Convention and the way in which issues of equality were manipulated when it came, among other things, to the legal status assigned to equality. We still see, after many years of decisions to use ‘gender mainstreaming’ as a method in decision-making, that this is completely absent from most areas of politics. It is now also proposed to cut back on the areas of competence of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities. This is completely contrary to the trend. It is even a phasing-out of gender equality in politics. It is rather ironic reading the Council recommendation from December 1996, which stresses that the under-representation of women in decision-making posts leaves their experiences unused and undervalued and thus constitutes a loss for society as a whole. I do in fact agree with the Council recommendation but, when the Council’s own composition throughout the years is examined in the form of photographs shown after the Council meetings, it is seen still to hark back to another era."@en1
