".
Mr President, let me thank Mrs Gál for a very good report and very good cooperation on all the amendments. I am very pleased we are voting on this tomorrow.
Our Union is entering a new phase. We are in the process of creating a legal obligation for the Union to ensure that fundamental rights are actively promoted across all policy areas. The proposed Fundamental Rights Agency would be the practical tool in this work.
Its main mandate covers what happens inside the Union. At the same time we know that just outside the Union’s borders there are literally slave markets, where young women and girls are sold to be trafficked into the sex industry in different parts of our Union. For instance, it is estimated that every day about 40 girls are sold from these kinds of slave markets in Moldova. This is the worst case of human rights violation occurring in our part of the world and the Fundamental Rights Agency should be able to confront it.
Therefore I hope that this House will confirm the vote of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs to the effect that the Agency should also be able to cover third countries when they are involved in human rights issues affecting the Union.
I also hope that this House will state clearly that the future gender institute at the very least should work closely with and be situated in the same location as the Fundamental Rights Agency. This is rational and cost
effective, but more importantly it should be the obvious line of thinking for anyone who believes that women’s rights are human rights."@en1
