"I gave my support to the Commission Work Programme for 2013. There are issues, however, which require particular attention. In social terms, the issues in question involve, firstly, the battle against unemployment, especially among young people, and secondly, the resolution of the problem of poverty, which is spreading across the EU. There is also the issue of promoting social integration and inclusion. In terms of gender equality, particular consideration should be given, first of all, to the implementation and supervision of the gender consideration process in legislative and budgetary procedures, in the Lisbon strategy, and in job creation programmes. Secondly, we need to consider the development of a comprehensive directive on preventing and combating violence against women. Thirdly, we need to consider the elimination of remuneration differences between women and men, and lastly, the development of integration and migration policy from a gender perspective. Implementation of EU law must be improved and measures put forward in relation to various proposals on blocked directives, such as, for example, the EU Anti-Discrimination Directive. I also appeal to the Council to ensure the effective inclusion of the issue of human rights and democracy in external policy. It is important that in the case of a blatant violation of human rights by a Member State, the EU should take bolder measures in relation to imposing sanctions provided for in agreed clauses on human rights, including the possibility of a temporary suspension of an agreement. EU programmes should contribute to the implementation by the Member States of international obligations in the area of human rights."@en1
