"I would like to encourage my colleagues to vote in favour of the report adopted by the Committee on Budgetary Control concerning discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) for 2010. I would also like to urge my colleagues to support the amendment tabled by the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in which we proposed deleting from the resolution attached to Parliament’s decision the proposal to consider in future merging the European Institute for Gender Equality and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. Having assessed the importance of this institute for promoting the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the policies of the European Union and its Member States, as well as its efforts to ensure gender equality in Member State labour markets and raise awareness of this issue among citizens, we cannot vote for the abolition of this institute in the future. Gender equality is one of the fundamental values of the European Union, reaffirmed in the Europe 2020 strategy and all of its implementing instruments. Progressive thinking should not even allow us to consider such a possibility. Compared to the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, EIGE’s mandate is unique because it concerns the control of
equality between women and men, meaning practical equality between women and men in all areas of life, established in EU policies. On the other hand, the mandate of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights concerns legal equality."@en1
