Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(28 March 2001)

The Commission has funded several organisations under the medium-term Community action programme on equal opportunities for men and women (1996-2000) established by Council Decision 95/593/EC of 22 December 1995(1), in order to allow for the exchange of information and experience on good practice at transnational level and/or to identify and develop good practice and transfer of information and experience to promote the integration of equal opportunities for men and women.

The Commission will submit a final report on the implementation of the programme to the Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions before 31 December 2001.

In the interim, the Commission is sending direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat the directories of projects funded in the financial years 1996-1999 and a list of the organisations funded in financial year 2000.

The Association des femmes de l'Europe méridionale (AFEM) has produced a video entitled Femmes et hommes, décidons ensemble. Le PE: une antichambre de la parité with the aim of promoting a positive image of women's and men's roles in society. The Commission co-funded the production of the video for an amount of 23 112. The ownership, title and industrial and intellectual property rights of the video are vested in the beneficiary. Therefore, all requests for copies should be addressed to AFEM, for the attention of Mr Yannick Ladroyes, 48, rue de Vaugirard F-75006 Paris (fax number: 33.(0)1.43.25.93.87).
