lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, my compliments to the rapporteur for her good work in this area. Obviously, equality is something that we all cherish, but unfortunately it does not often happen in practice, especially if you attend Parliament here on a Thursday afternoon when we are dealing with human rights issues across the globe. In some countries women have very few rights indeed, and we try to correct that. But equally, even within the European Union, while we have equality officially, the opportunities for women to progress are often very difficult and there are barriers which we are speaking about in terms of opportunities in politics, boards, etc. For that reason it is very important that the accession countries should have equality as a priority and that they should be seen to be making progress in terms of equality between men and women, otherwise they should be told that they will not be allowed to join the European Union."@en1
