"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I should like to congratulate Mrs Gröner and all my fellow Members who have worked on this report. I also thank the Commissioner for his support and his words this morning. I am convinced that important results can be achieved when everyone collaborates, and they have been achieved in this case. Above all, the continuity of the Daphne programme has been guaranteed; this is an important, valuable programme for preventing and fighting violence towards women and children, which has already in the past obtained significant and to some extent unexpected results. In addition, the programme has been guaranteed an
budget line that is rightly separate, as the rapporteur also said, from the drugs prevention programme.
It is worth mentioning that, out of all the possible aims of Daphne, a number of important priorities have also been set, including the fight against domestic violence – worryingly, a problem that is constantly on the increase – and the scourge of genital mutilation. Another important point has been to specify that the term ‘child’ or ‘young person’ covers the age range from newborn to 18 years, although the measures may of course target young people up to the age of 25.
There has also been a concern to specify that violence prevention should be aimed not only at young people, women and groups at risk, but also at newborn babies: cases in which babies are mistreated or actually abandoned are growing exponentially and are often associated with situations of psychological and social deprivation. Such occurrences could be prevented by providing mothers and families in extreme difficulties with assistance and support.
Clearly, these are ambitious aims for which, unfortunately, there is inadequate financial provision. In conclusion, I hope that Daphne may be allocated greater resources than at present in the mid-term budget review; we are counting on your efforts as well, Commissioner, to achieve that."@en1
