".
It is certainly laudable to create a Community action programme to promote organisations active at European level in the field of equality between men and women. This is all the more important because of the mechanisms of exclusivity that have led to situations of privilege and discrimination in favour of women’s organisations associated with the European Women’s Lobby. Such mechanisms violate human rights and run counter to the basic principles of free and pluralistic social organisation.
At first reading, the rapporteur’s proposals sought to redress this imbalance, but the leftist dogma of the committee concerned saw to it that, once again, unequal treatment and opportunities in favour of women’s organisations prevailed. Quite apart from the concerns surrounding this injustice itself, it is grotesque that this situation has been brought about by a committee whose very
is to defend women’s rights and equal opportunities.
The Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities should have a duty to provide a voice and a clear vision for the majority of women, for diversity and a plurality of opinions and interests.
The second reading managed to avoid watering down the initial proposals and to prevent a disastrous and unjust outcome. There is hope, therefore, of a real improvement in the situation."@en1
