". We welcome the content of this report, which seeks to promote gender equality in development cooperation and we consequently voted in favour of it. The broad objective stated in the European Union’s development cooperation policy is to combat poverty and ultimately eradicate it. In order to combat poverty effectively, however, greater practical support must be provided and other policies for cooperation and fair trade must be promoted. We must also fight for equal rights for men and women and for women to play a greater role in the political sphere. At the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, a clear agenda was established for the first time on promoting equal rights for women and men. In the European Union this led to Council Regulation (EC) No 2836/98 on integrating gender issues in development cooperation. In 2001, an action programme on mainstreaming gender equality in Community development cooperation was approved, but expires in 2006. This serves as the legal base for budget item B7-6220 (21.02.06) – ‘Promoting equality of men and women in the framework of development cooperation’. This expires on 31 December 2003, and will have to be replaced by this proposal, which the Commission was very late in submitting."@en1
