"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am speaking in my capacity as rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality on the 2010 discharge, and I wanted to talk about the European Institute for Gender Equality. The year 2010 was especially significant for this institute, because it became financially independent. Therefore, two years since achieving financial independence, 92.3% of the posts in terms of the human resources of this institute have been filled, and it is now fully up and running. The institute plays a central role in identifying measures to resolve the considerable discrimination against women, in particular, by carrying out studies and research, drawing up statistics, and exchanging best practices in equal opportunities within the 27 Member States of Europe. The institute currently plays a fundamental role for the various Member States and the European Commission, which are evaluating the introduction of legislation on increasing the number of women involved in corporate decision making. Its work is therefore crucial. I am therefore against the request to consider the merger of the institute in Vilnius with the European Agency for Fundamental Rights in Vienna. These two institutes have totally different roles – as I have said, the institute in Vilnius deals with equal opportunities issues while the agency in Vienna focuses on human rights – so I call on all my fellow Members to support the amendment for the abolition of paragraph 3."@en1
