"Madam President, I am very pleased to see the commitment of the various EU institutions to this issue. Thanks to broad political and institutional efforts across the board, we have succeeded in producing an excellent directive in a constructive manner. I would like to thank everyone involved for the work they have done. Within the framework of a European protection order, victims who are granted protection in a Member State of the EU will now be able to obtain equivalent protection if they move to another Member State. This is important. The protection covers victims of gender-related violence, harassment, abduction, persecution or attempted murder, for example. I believe that this directive brings us a step closer to a safer Europe for all citizens, but particularly for women, who constitute the large majority of the victims, and here I am talking about men’s violence against women. The directive is assumed to apply only to protection measures taken in connection with a crime, but in the various legal systems of the Member States a person can receive similar types of protection with other measures, too. It is important to say that a victim of crime is guaranteed comparable protection. From the point of view of equality, the European protection order exists primarily to deal with the symptoms of gender-related violence. In my opinion, the European protection order is one of several steps for dealing with and combating the fundamental causes of men’s violence against women. In order to take further steps, we now need an overarching EU strategy on men’s violence against women, a strategy that will then make it easier to find practical solutions for dealing with these abhorrent gender-related crimes of violence."@en1
