"I voted in favour of the rapporteur’s amendments geared towards significantly improving the Commission text.
I condemn the existence of mechanisms attributing uniqueness, which create situations of privilege and of discrimination that breach fundamental rights themselves, specifically those enshrined in the Charter on Fundamental Rights, since these mechanisms impose conditions on or even run counter to the basic principles of social structures. This fact has been referred to by various women’s organisations working in this field at European level and who feel discriminated against. In particular, I would highlight Amendment 4, in the hope that the final text of the decision will move broadly in this direction. All the rules that give the European Women’s Lobby an advantage over other organisations are politically iniquitous and legally questionable. I agree in particular with Mrs Lulling’s speech in the debate. I am all in favour of women’s organisations receiving funding, but as in all other sectors, we must guarantee and promote the plurality of specific interests and of a specific vision for women.
In light of the votes in the specialised committee, I felt bound to vote against the report in the overall vote and will wait for the second reading."@en1
