". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you for this interesting debate, in which a relatively large number of men took part. I take this as a sign that we have made progress in the area of equal opportunities. Gender equality is not only a social question, but also an economic one, and our policies will be all the more effective if they take this issue on board. Equality should be based on a broad approach, involving specific measures and reaching across all of our policies. The policy of gender equality must be fostered through political commitment at the highest level, involving compliance with legislation and good governance at all levels of power. We are making strenuous efforts in this direction and I feel sure that our roadmap on equality issues, which we shall be tabling in March, will make a significant contribution. I should like, if I may, to respond to one of the questions that was asked. Directive 73/2002 came into force on 5 October 2005, and most countries have transposed it. The Commission is currently analysing the situation and, where applicable, will initiate the appropriate procedures."@en1
