". Mrs Kratsa-Tsagarapoulou’s report clearly lays out the sticking points: the persistent pay differential and the explosion in trafficking in human beings and prostitution. I welcome the dynamism of our rapporteur, although I would like to make two observations. Firstly, we must remember the scale of poverty amongst women. Most of the 60 million people living beneath the poverty line in the EU are women. Secondly, we must remain vigilant over Europe’s desire to protect the equality of the sexes. In fact, the first preliminary draft of the constitutional treaty presented by the Convention in October 2002 causes me some concern. The absence of any reference to equality between men and women in Europe is notable: it appears neither as a value nor as an aim, despite its inclusion in the Treaties. The Convention’s work programme, which is now dedicated to social issues, will enable this oversight to be corrected. We cannot conceive of it failing to do so."@en1
