lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the words of all my colleagues who have spoken on this item because I believe that it allows us to establish that despite varying emphases and some differences, the common objective is shared by each and every one of us. I would also like to tell the Commissioner that I am very pleased with his speech and with his contribution during this debate. Each and every one of us would sign up to his speech in full. Therefore I would like to say how pleased I am, but would add that what is needed now is a genuine political willingness to implement all the initiatives which are currently on the table. He will therefore have this Parliament on his side if he continues to emphasise the importance of this issue and persists in his efforts to implement all these initiatives. I would just like to note one aspect: the importance of men’s role in the fight for equality between men and women. Involving men in this task is essential. The fact that today male colleagues have participated in this debate may, I believe, be a reflection of the fact that men must also stand beside women in the fight for equality. I will close by mentioning one of the issues raised in this debate, by a colleague who said that women have been saying the same old things since the 19th century. I would like to point out to him that women in my country in the 19th century were demanding the right to vote: they could not even vote. There is therefore, a clear difference. Much progress has been made, that much we cannot deny. We must thank all those women, all those organisations who have worked in the fight for equality. This, however, cannot mean denying the obvious: there is still a long way to go, we still have a lot of work ahead. By all of us persisting, men and women, we should achieve genuine equality between men and women."@en1
