lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to touch on a question regarding the report on the European Institute for Gender Equality. Paragraph 3 proposes the merger of the European Institute for Gender Equality and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. Gender equality is a founding value of the European Union and has implications broader than simply those of human rights. I have to say that these two bodies have completely different objectives. The Institute for Gender Equality was planned over more than 10 years. The initiative for it came from this Parliament, and after long preparations, it started work in 2010. I have not heard anything to suggest that its work has been inefficient. The main argument is that of saving resources. In this House, we often speak about greater integration in the European Union, in order to bring it closer to our citizens. Agencies, institutes, other EU bodies and the Member States all help us to deliver the message of the European Union. To have more Europe in every Member State is our goal. These bodies contribute a great deal to both EU and national policies. If we are concerned with saving resources, we need to talk about reform in a broader sense, systematically, and not only merely in terms of merging some of the EU institutions or agencies. When we talk about savings, we can talk about Strasbourg and about other things, but money is not always what is at issue. There are certain things that we deliver to our citizens, and I think that having this kind of agency in Member States is crucial. I call on you to vote today not to merge these institutions."@en1
