lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, even if we speak frequently about gender inequality issues, the role of women in international trade is neglected, and that is why I would like to congratulate the rapporteur because she raised that very important issue, which is very rarely debated. Women are often negatively affected by the process of globalisation, as we heard, and I absolutely agree on that. They do not have the same access to education and employment, and are not properly involved in trade. They are often excluded from the decision-making process and from services. As we know, only highly educated women benefit from liberalised trade, and women all over the world often suffer from the side-effects of globalisation and liberalisation. That is why we all agree that equal treatment should become a reality, and in order to achieve it, clear monitoring of employment policies is necessary, together with collecting gender-disaggregated data. Trade can be identified as one of the six priority areas for development policy. Achieving gender equality is the key to development in general. The strategy of gender mainstreaming is a long-term, step-by-step approach, based on integrating gender issues into both the political and the practical areas. Development effectiveness requires that gender analysis should be systematically integrated into the conception, implementation and evaluation of all development strategies. Development effectiveness makes it appropriate to envisage specific activities aimed at ensuring adequate attention to gender issues across the mainstream of Community financial instruments, which should increasingly assume responsibility for these key questions. Strengthened women’s representation and participation in economic and political life contributes significantly to poverty reduction and development and creates more hope for a better future for the next generation."@en1
