"Mr President, I will just focus on the report concerning discharge in respect of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE). As you all know, EIGE meets all the requirements for sound finances and fulfils its commitments according to its remit. Unfortunately, a sentence has been slipped into paragraph 3 of the committee’s proposal proposing a merger of EIGE with the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). This is a very strange proposal in view of the fact that EIGE was set up only a few years ago after more than 10 years of pressure from this Parliament. Even though EIGE and FRA clearly have aspects in common, there are also a lot of ways in which they differ. EIGE focuses exclusively on gender and the structures and policy that could make us more effective within the area of gender equality. It concerns the labour market, social security, decision making and being able to combine work with family life. The European Parliament places gender equality high on the agenda, even when the Member States sometimes lack vision and ideas. We therefore need a fully-fledged institute that acts as a resource and that carries out indicative background work and monitoring within this important policy area. Paragraph 3 should therefore be deleted."@en1
