"I voted in favour of Parliament’s recommendation to the Council on the modalities for the possible establishment of a European Endowment for Democracy (EED). The EU enshrines universal human rights and democracy as founding values of the Union and aims to eliminate inequalities and promote equality between men and women. Parliament calls on the Council to ensure that the EED will generate a strategic and political approach in terms of the EU’s role in supporting democracy; clarify the mission and values of the EED in order to ensure clear criteria for selecting beneficiaries, in particular, regarding the selection process method; request that the EED guarantees the principle of national ownership of democratic processes; ensure that the EED provides added value by complementing and not overlapping with or curtailing the activities of the existing funding instruments; and ensure at strategic planning level that the EED cooperates with other EU instruments and structures engaged in human rights and promoting democracy. Parliament has asked the Council to ensure that the EED pays special attention to the participation of women in the democratic reform process, by supporting women’s organisations and projects in areas such as combating violence, generating employment and political participation, extending equal access to justice and education for women and girls, and preventing or ending existing violations of women’s rights."@en1
