"In May 2011, following the events in the southern Mediterranean, the EU’s High Representative and Commission Vice-President, Baroness Ashton, along with Commissioner Füle, put forward the idea of a European Endowment for Democracy (EED). The intention is to set up a semi-autonomous entity which could support democracy activists and democratic developments around the world. Creating this new fund is a more suitable and effective method than reforming the existing instruments, particularly the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights. It must be guaranteed that the EED plays a synergetic and complementary role relative to the work carried about by the EU institutions, including Parliament, and the Member States, their agencies and the foundations they fund. The EED should pay particular attention to the participation of women in the democratic reform process, by supporting women’s organisations and projects such as combating violence, job creation and political participation, extending equal access to justice and education, and preventing or eradicating existing violations of women’s rights. I voted for this report for those reasons."@en1
