"The principle of gender mainstreaming is laid down in Article 8 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), which states that, in all its activities, the Union shall aim to eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women. The TFEU also refers to the fact that ‘the Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities’ and that ‘these values are common to the Member States in a society characterised by pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men’. I believe that the incorporation of a gender perspective into the legislative and political work of Parliament can be achieved most effectively through specifically-targeted amendments to draft reports that respond to gender mainstreaming. The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) strives to support the incorporation of gender equality into all EU policies and to promote gender mainstreaming in all its institutions and bodies. Gender mainstreaming is of much greater significance than its actual assertion through the implementation of specific measures to help women or in certain cases of sex under-representation. An essential and important part of this effort is also the mobilisation of all general policies and measures aiming to achieve gender equality through concrete steps."@en1
