"This own-initiative report, by my colleague Ms Bastos, concerns the ‘Daphne programme’; more specifically, the progress made and future prospects. This is the only European programme intended to protect women and children. Cases of violence used against women are well known and have a steep cost: in Europe alone, domestic violence costs over EUR 16 billion per year. New information technologies mean we are witnessing a new type of violence online, specifically over social media. There is an urgent need to take measures to prevent discrimination against women. I welcome the adoption of any measures that safeguard the objectives of this programme and keep funding levels high. I also hope the projects will be shared out fairly between all the Member States. I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on the work she has done, which I consider excellent. I am voting for the proposal to keep the ‘Daphne programme’ for the 2014-2020 period."@en1
