Madam President, on behalf of the Commission I would first of all like to express our thanks to the two rapporteurs, Mrs Gröner and Mrs Angelilli, for the excellent job they did. I have to tell you that I was very happy to fulfil the request of my fellow Commissioner, Mr Frattini, to replace him, at least at the beginning of the debate, because this is a very important subject and one which is close to my heart.
I also want to tell you that the Commission is firmly committed to the Daphne programme, which sets out to prevent and combat all forms of violence against women, children and young people. We know that Parliament also values it very highly. Daphne will be ten years old, but what the Commission is proposing is already the third version of the programme. During that period its success has been widely acknowledged. It has served to finance a great many projects which have helped to achieve progress in the fight against violence.
The attachment to Daphne felt by Parliament and many sections of civil society is reflected in their suggestion that the Commission should stop presenting Daphne measures and action to prevent drug abuse under the same programme heading. As you know, the Commission has taken Parliament’s wishes on board and on 24 May it put forward two separate programme proposals.
Although Daphne II runs to the end of 2008, it is essential that Daphne III be adopted by the end of the year so that the new forms of action provided for by the proposal for a decision, as well as the budget appropriations, which are much higher than in the past, can be used right from the beginning of next year.
I am looking forward to today’s debate."@en1
