"Mr President, I should like to thank the Presidency. I did not participate directly in the New York conference, but the reports I have heard, from participants and in other ways, have really praised the European Union as being very much a motor of progressive change.
I think that, happily enough, we can declare the Beijing platform for action a success. If there is anything which really has had a very secure foundation, it is very much this platform that has been adopted. We saw this from the assessment, showing a host of committed women around the world working not only on a small scale but also on an extremely large scale where, for example, violence against women is concerned.
I should also like to thank Mrs Smet. I do not belong to any church and come from a country which has now also separated the Church from the State. I want to thank all practising Catholics who are dissociating themselves from the Vatican State, which is behaving as it is. If we cannot enter into dialogue with the Vatican State in the future, we shall probably have to question its basis for existence."@en1
