"Mr President, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities has done great work on this report, which I believe has been improved. I have therefore changed my initial position and I am voting in favour of this final text.
The results of the Council of Ministers of 26 June 2003, however, have been insufficient in this regard. I understand the efforts made today by Commissioner Solbes to present it in a positive manner. I understand it because Mr Solbes, when he was Minister for Agriculture in Spain, was sensitive towards women in the field of rural development. What has been agreed on the reform of the CAP, however, in no way takes women into consideration. What is more, neither Commissioner Fischler in his proposals, nor what the Ministers have approved, makes the slightest mention of women. I have studied all the agreements and only indirectly, by means of rural development or the mention of young farmers, can I see any improvement.
Bearing in mind, therefore, the importance of these agreements on the reform of the CAP, this is very serious and we must ensure that the regulations included in this reform take account of women.
The most interesting points in the Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou report, as it now stands, are the recognition and improvements for assisting spouses, men and women, the effective promotion measures, microloans, soft loans, and the proposal, which is very necessary, that women should participate in decision-making in professional and sectoral agricultural organisations. It is necessary because the CAP is still sexist."@en1
