lpv:translated text	". I welcome this report on the situation in Afghanistan. The reality is that the recent history of the country is characterised by a lack of security and by the slow pace of reconstruction, a situation that makes it essential for the EU to adopt positions. I agree with the rapporteur that concern must be expressed with regard to the difficult situation facing women in Afghanistan. The EU must insist that improving the situation of women represents a priority for the country. It is true that some progress has been made, such as the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by the Afghan Transitional Authority (ATA) and the reference to equal treatment for women and men in the new constitution adopted on 4 January. While these are important steps, they are insufficient in themselves. It is essential that the ATA condemn consistently, publicly and unequivocally all acts of violence perpetrated against women and children. I endorse the rapporteur’s view that funds from the Community budget earmarked for the ATA must be increased, particularly because granting less money may be seen as a lack of support for the progress that has taken place and as a disincentive to proceed with reconstruction. The idea of creating a European reconstruction agency along the lines of the Kosovo model must be considered."@en1
