".
Mr President, I am delighted to see that progress has been made, within the framework both of the Council and the European Parliament, on the proposal in question and that we have now reached the final stage of its approval.
The proposal is designed to provide a legal basis for continuing financial support for organisations working at European Union level to promote equality between men and women. It is designed to increase legal clarity and transparency when granting subsidies in accordance with the new financial regulation. The present proposal forms part of a package of seven decisions which provide specific legal bases, from 2004 onwards, for subsidies which are currently funded on the basis of administrative operating appropriations.
I should like to congratulate Mrs Kratsa on her report and Mrs Lulling on her presentation of it and the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities for their work and proposals, most of which have been incorporated in the Commission’s amended proposal.
We support the common position proposed by the Council in that it responds to the Commission’s main objectives and incorporates most of your amendments. It is very positive that the institutions worked closely together and arrived at a joint agreement on the basic issues of the duration of the programme and the level of central funding at the tripartite meeting in November 2003.
We all agree that the organisations in question play a crucial role in promoting Community policies in the area of equality between men and women. It is important to safeguard the continuation of and avoid obstacles to Community support for the organisations in question. Due to the delay in approving this decision, the amendments relating to the transitional clauses need to be included in the final decision, as agreed at the conciliation meeting last November."@en1
