"Mr President, it may be said that, unlike everyone else, I have thought it important to take the floor at this second reading. It is quite simply because I want to take the opportunity to praise the work done by the European Women’s Lobby. It is of course important what the European political parties do to promote women in the decision-making processes and in all possible other areas. I believe, however, that it is also safe to say that, if the European Women’s Lobby were not active in this area, it would be much more difficult to push through a number of gender equality initiatives. In particular, I think there is good cause for emphasising the need that exists for the European Women’s Lobby in connection with enlargement to include the new Member States, which quite obviously have other gender equality traditions than ourselves in the current Member States. It is important for the Women’s Lobby, together with the organisations of MEPs in the individual nations, to be active so that we can continue to pursue the work concerning women, even though there are cultural differences between the new and old EU countries."@en1
