"Mr President, first of all, I should like to express my dissatisfaction at the fact that a women’s debate is not only the last item on the agenda, but is also – once again – being dropped.
I will now turn to the subject of women and poverty. Although we have a report before us, pocket-sized though it may be, it again reads like a tract from the Bible. As a progressive woman, I am therefore very disappointed with the end product, which is mainly descriptive and not action-based.
What the report does do, however, is to put on the EU agenda the specific circumstances of poverty affecting women, and this is a good thing. I fully support the section about setting up an active group within the EU in which the participation of groups of the poorest women will be actively promoted and supported. After all, they are the experts who have a good understanding of the ideas about how the most pressing needs in poverty and women could be alleviated."@en1
