"Mr President, I wish to thank the rapporteur, Ms Bastos, and the members of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, for drafting a very sound report and for their ongoing support for the Daphne programme.
Under the new multiannual financial framework, the Commission proposed to cover all the activities currently being supported and carried out by the Daphne programme with the future rights and citizenship programme. Let me answer directly the question that has been posed: under the new programme, all the current Daphne objectives and activities will be supported, and the budget in this new programme is compatible with the budget that was available up to now.
The approach of the Commission under the multiannual financial framework focuses on simplification, flexibility and EU added value. Under the approach outlined, the Commission aims to develop the best possible synergies between three activities: combating violence, gender equality and the rights of the child. They are now brought under one programme, which will address emerging and innovative challenges, many of which are outlined in Ms Bastos’ report.
I want to stress that the new programme remains open to all entities, all Member States and third countries, and all types of projects and activities that have been supported and are receiving funding under the Daphne III programme. The new structure of the programme will help the Commission to improve the programme’s management and to address more efficiently deficiencies as identified in the mid-term evaluation of the Daphne III programme, which are also noted in the report. This includes, for example, the need to improve dissemination of results and the geographic spread of projects. Participants will benefit directly from improved management of the programme because procedures will be easier, faster, less bureaucratic, more uniform. Something which required two procedures would now need one.
Lastly, in 2012, the Commission will update the Daphne toolkit. This database of projects to combat violence will facilitate the wider dissemination of news of project outcomes by European and national stakeholders. The intention is to maintain this database under the new multiannual financial framework programme and to use it as a model for the dissemination of project results in all areas.
Let me finally stress, as the Commissioner for humanitarian aid, that we would have no foot to stand on morally if we assisted other countries to fight gender violence when we were not doing a good job at home. In this sense, I personally strongly support the report and the actions we take in this area. May I also say I am returning the two minutes that I took from our previous segment."@en1
