".
This is something that women's organisations have for a long time been calling for; Parliament has supported it, but achieving it has been an arduous process. Finally, following the Commission's proposal to set up a European Institute for Gender Equality, Parliament adopted its position at first reading on 14 March 2006, with the adoption of 50 amendments to the Commission’s proposal, which was published on 8 March 2006. In the interim, the Council adopted its common position on 21 September 2006, incorporating 35 amendments tabled by Parliament.
Given the need to get the Institute up and running in 2007, amendments were negotiated with a view to reaching a rapid agreement at second reading. This was the compromise to which we gave our agreement, which includes 13 amendments to the common position.
Among its provisions, this agreement provides for removing the Bureau proposed in the common position and for reintroducing the Experts’ Forum, a consultation forum made up of experts in the area of gender equality, and this is something that both the Commission and Parliament want.
The Council has rethought its position and agreed to the replacement of the Bureau by an Experts’ Forum made up of one representative from each Member State, two members appointed by Parliament and three representatives from the social partners."@en1
