"Question No 7 by María Izquierdo Rojo ():
The 19-20 June 2003 Thessaloniki European Council Presidency conclusions include the following: Paragraph 66 (Relations with the Arab world): 'The European Union is convinced that it must strengthen its partnership with the Arab world. It intends to promote a closer political dialogue, pluralism and democratic reform…' Paragraph 68: '…the civil society of the countries of the region, including women, is expected to play an important role in promoting democratic values, social awareness, education and development.'
However, the personal status which women in some eastern and southern Mediterranean countries still have constitutes nothing less than an infringement of the human rights of the individual. Modernising such societies involves including women in democratisation processes. The leaders of countries who try to modernise in technological and economic terms alone whilst leaving the structures of obsolete, patriarchal societies untouched will fail. Nowadays, women are the most important factor in the modernisation process, since when women bring themselves up to date, society as a whole follows suit. What form, therefore, is the Italian Presidency's action going to take as it endeavours to promote women in the Mediterranean area?"@en1
