"Mr President. I acknowledge the first coordination act of the enlarged 25-member group under the Dutch presidency. You have carried it out without any significant problems. Permit me to mention something negative, however. In spite of the fact that all the key documents concerning equality have in their preamble equality between men and women, I regard it as a disgrace to the 21st century and all strategies that the Council you lead was composed (particularly in November) of 25 men and two invited guests, messieurs Chirac and Schröder. We have all criticised Mr Buttiglioni for his views, but this is the reality in this key European Union body.
You have not succeeded in adopting the Statute for Members of the European Parliament, thereby perpetuating the virtual division of Europe and discrimination within this body as well. We are working under different conditions here. In spite of this, we state in the Lisbon Strategy, as a very important chapter, that we should be equal in both rights and responsibilities.
It is a good thing that you have considered immigration into Europe from the security point of view. It would, however, be a good thing, and I would welcome it, if you also looked at emigration in relation to the future. The most valuable people are leaving Europe and are directly assisting our competitors in other countries. Thank you."@en1
