"I voted in favour of this report because gender mainstreaming means more than simply promoting equality through the implementation of specific measures, but rather involves mobilising all general policies and measures for the specific purpose of achieving gender equality. The ultimate goal of gender mainstreaming is to change habits and institutions in order to be more reflective of the needs, aspirations and experiences of all of society, both women and men. I am pleased that not just the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, but many other European Parliament committees have launched initiatives in various areas, including the own-initiative report on the role of women in agriculture and rural areas drawn up by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the public hearing on the role of women in the sustainable development of fisheries areas organised by the Committee on Fisheries. I would like to draw attention to the fact that close cooperation is required with the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) in its role of disseminating accurate methodological tools and with a view to better evaluating gender mainstreaming in Parliament’s work. The European Parliament also calls on the Commission to address and prioritise gender inequalities in a more consistent and systematic manner when programming and implementing all policies. It also insists that the mainstreaming of gender issues through all policies must be improved in order to achieve the goals of gender equality."@en1
