lpv:translated text	"President-in-Office, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you will understand the pride I feel as a Portuguese national at the general acclaim for the Portuguese Presidency’s excellent work in promoting equal rights for women during its term and particularly with regard to the special UN conference on Beijing+5. The conferences on violence against women, trafficking of women and reconciling family and professional life, together with the UN conference on Beijing+5, are clear examples of the Portuguese Presidency’s involvement in this area. Anyone at the UN last week, like myself, would know that, in the end, we only managed to approve less than one-third of the final document. The difficulties were immense. I feel that it was both the work of the Presidency and the Commission and the involvement of all the female Members of this House who were there, and who joined with the national MPs of the Fifteen plus those from the applicant countries with the exception of Poland, which ensured that progress was made in the final document and that this was a lot closer to our intentions than when we started the work. Finally, I must say that the European Union has a decisive role to play in this issue. We must lead the way in defending women’s rights and we must continue the work in this respect. The resolution approved by the European Parliament was greatly appreciated in the UN. I must thank the President-in-Office for having come directly from Canada to Strasbourg so as not to miss this meeting which is so important to us. I know that, since Monday of last week, she has been constantly dealing with women’s issues both in the USA and in Canada."@en1
