lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as a member of the Lithuanian delegation I would like to support the remarks made by Mrs Hoff in her report. There has been remarkable progress in several areas, but one of the aspects which was not covered in the report was equal opportunities. We heard about the benefits of enlargement, and this is one of the issues where we can learn from Lithuania. 17.5% of the members of Lithuania's parliament are women, which is well above the average of the applicant countries and also better than many current Member States. Lithuania has appointed an ombudsman to ensure equal opportunities, to which it does not just pay lip service – it actually enforces it. As Mrs Hoff said, the major problem remains the Ignalina power station. The Lithuanian government has committed itself to the closure of unit one, albeit later than originally scheduled. This has been a difficult issue, but there is no doubt that the plant must close, and further delays are unacceptable. In addition to the financial support being given by the EU for the closure programme, we must also provide support to develop a genuinely sustainable energy strategy."@en1
