lpv:translated text	"I would like to begin by congratulating Mrs Bozkurt on her work and on her monitoring of the situation of women in Turkey. Thanks to her good work, the issue of women’s rights is being treated on a par with other policies. I believe that you are making history in that regard, Mrs Bozkurt. Congratulations! As someone who has been closely following this process, your first report, the extremely interesting working meetings that a delegation of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality held in Istanbul and Ankara, and now this second report, I must say that I agree with you that we must now ensure that the legislation on women’s rights is not revoked. Although the improvement in the legislation in this field has, generally speaking, been a success, it is urgent that we create the appropriate environment to make it possible for the legislative reforms to be applied. It is very difficult to carry on making progress if the important changes introduced into the legislation are not implemented in practice. Women must be able to see their situation improve in their daily lives. It is not just a question of their having rights, but also of their being able to complain in practice when they are not respected. Only by speeding up the practical application of the legislative reforms throughout the territory will we be able to ensure that the new legislation on women's rights is maintained. I would also like to stress that the Turkish authorities’ willingness to tackle cases of violence against women and to accept the use of positive action measures with a view to combating gender inequalities is particularly significant. I would finally like to highlight the government’s willingness to hold dialogue and to better coordinate with women's organisations active in the field of gender equality, and therefore the rapporteur’s request that the European Commission provide support in order to facilitate that cooperation seems to me to be highly appropriate. Congratulations once again, Mrs Bozkurt."@en1
