lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there can be no doubt that, since the approval of the Beijing Platform for Action, there has been considerable progress with regard to women's rights, laws have been changed, equality policies have been created and feminist discourse is increasingly being assimilated by society. But it is also the case, unfortunately, that the reality in many fields is still a long way from matching what is laid down in our laws and what we have stated in our declarations. Furthermore, ladies and gentlemen, as we have seen in recent days in New York, if we had not been careful, the progress we have worked so hard to make could have been reversed through the negative influence of ultra-conservative forces and religious fundamentalism, particularly with regard to human rights and the sexual and reproductive rights of women. Fortunately, the final declaration of Beijing + 10 reaffirms the Beijing Platform for Action in full. This achievement has undoubtedly also been a success for those people who have negotiated on behalf of the European Union, and I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the good work of the Luxembourg Presidency. Simply ensuring that we do not move backwards is no great achievement, however. It is urgent that we make much faster progress in the direction we have set. We have the tools; all we need is political will and the European Union must lead this progress. Commissioner, Minister, our framework strategy on equality between men and women and the associated programme ends this year. I would like to insist that, without a new framework strategy, it will be much more difficult for us to move forward. We must also urge our Member States to adopt new measures in the fields that fall within their competence. In this regard, I would like to mention today in particular the 53 measures approved last Friday by my country’s – Spain’s - Socialist government, aimed at promoting equality between men and women."@en1
