Marie­Paule Kestelijn­Sierens (ELDR, ' Belgien) kaldte i sin rapport til Parlamentet Kommissionens Årsberetning om lige mu­ overvågningen og evalueringen for at kun­ne vurdere, hvor godt Ugestillingen integre­res i både medlemsstats­ og EU­politikker­ ligheder for kvinder og mænd i Den Euro­ pæiske Union for et "værdifuldt hjælpemid­ ■­. ne.
> o women's contribution to society". Moni­toring and evaluation had to be stepped up to measure how equal opportunities are be­ing integrated in national and Community policies, she said. This was especially the case for the structural funds which should be used in a far more "aggressive way" to ensure women participate more in projects funded by public money. Promoting main­streaming of gender and equal opportuni­ties in all policies should not mean an end to positive action, according to the resolu­tion. On the contrary, it said positive action measures should continue "for women where they are disadvantaged". Presenting her report to the Parliament, Marie­Paule Kestelijn­Sierens (ELDR, Bel­gium) described the Commission's annual report on equal opportunities for women and men in the European Union as a "valu­able means of assessing progress in the field".
Det, at man arbejder for at fremme integreringen af kønsaspekt og li­gestilling i al politik, bør ifølge resolutionen ikke være ensbetydende med at afskaffe be­grebet "positiv særbehandling", som tværti­mod bør videreføres på områder, hvor kvinder er forfordelte.
But she criticised its lack of analysis and evaluation and regretted that "other important areas of work in the field of equal opportunities" most notably violence against women or women's health were "completely disregarded or given in­sufficient attention".
Kvinder og reklame
Women and advertising
Et kort blik på den korte EF­ og EU­historie erin­dres man om følgende milepæle: I 1957 blev Det Eu­ropæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab oprettet med Rom­traktaten, og i 1987 fik det et nyt skub fremad med Enhedsakten og åbningen af det indre marked.
The resolution adopted by the Parlia­ment calls on the Commission to strength­
Maastricht­traktaten fra 1991 banede vejen for den ekonomiske og monetære union og for indførelsen af fælles valuta.
A brief reminder of some of the landmarks in the short history of the Community: 1957 saw the birth of the Treaty of Rome creating the European Eco­nomic Community; in 1987 a new thrust was given with the Single Act establishing the Single Market; fi­nally, in 1991, the Maastricht Treaty opened the way to Economic and Monetary Union and the creation of the single currency.
At understrege, hvor vigtigt det er med informati­on, er blevet en fælles sag.
Stressing the importance of information has be­come widespread.
At "lave" information om institutionerne på en tilfredsstillende måde, der sva­rer til vore læseres interesser, er en langt vanskelige­re udfordring.
Success in "making" the informa­tion coming from the institutions into something that is satisfactory and adapted to the interests of our readers is much more difficult to achieve.
Måden, hvorpå kvinder af­bildes i reklamer, bliver stadig mere rå og diskriminerende, og ofte overtrædes kvinderettig­hederne, sagde Marlene Lenz (PPE, Tyskland), da hun frem­lagde sin rapport for Parlamen­tet.
The way women are por­trayed in advertising is becom­ing increasingly "crude" and discriminatory and is often an infringement of women's rights, said Marlene Lenz (PPE, Germany) addressing the Par­liament on her report.The me­dia and the advertising industry have a vital role to play in pro­viding role models and in in­fluencing social behaviour.
Medierne og reklamebran­chen har stor magt med hensyn til at skabe roliemønstre og in­fluere på den sociale adfærd.
But with greater competition for consumer attention, media ad­vertising was becoming in­creasingly aggressive and "the trend is towards provocation", en the strategic nature of fu­ture reports.
Den skærpede kamp om for­brugernes opmærksomhed gør imidlertid averteringen i medi­erne stadig mere agressiv, og "der hersker en tendens til provokation", tilføjede Marle­ med at få indarbejdet kønsper­spektivet og de lige mulighe­der som en del af hverdagen.
It said they should focus more on devel­opments in the year in ques­tion, increase the examples from Member States, provide a glossary of equal opportunities terms and a greater analysis of issues so that the annual report can contribute to the drawing up of future strategies.
Jeg overtager mit nye job her i Kvindeinformati­onssektoren på et tidspunkt og i en sammenhæng, som er både spændende og fyldt med løfter for frem­tiden.
I am taking up my new post within the Women's Information Section at a point in time and in a con­text that is both exciting and full of promise for the future.
Derfor er mit mål at bevare og ­ om muligt for­bedre ­ dialogen med læserne.
This is why I would like to commit myself to maintain, and if necessary to improve, a dialogue with you.
Jeg ønsker ikke alene at gøre Europas Kvinder - Nyhedsbrev til en informati­onskilde men også til et forum for udveksling af erfa­ringer og kontakter, der kan være med til at støtte de mange kvindenetværk, og som, hvis dette er påkrævet, leverer beviset på, at kvinder er grund­læggende og uundværlige medspillere i et forenet,fre­deligt og fremgangsrigt Europa baseret på solidaritet.
I would like to make Women of Europe Newslet­ter not only a source of information but a melting­pot for exchanges of experience and contacts which will serve to support the many women's networks and which prove, if such proof is necessary, that women are fundamental and inalienable actors in a united, peaceful and prosperous Europe based on solidarity.
I en stadig foranderlig verden har mine kolleger og jeg til opgave at tilpasse dette kommunikations­ og informationsredskab, så det på en værdifuld og rele­vant måde imødekommer sine læseres behov. ·
In an ever­changing world, the members of our team are committed to adapting this instrument of communication and information and making it into a valuable and relevant means of meeting the needs of all those who receive it. ·
I Parlamentets resolution forkastes "den kommercielle udbredelse af billeder, der fornedrer kvinders værdighed eller ligestil­ling med mænd".
The resolution adopted by Parliament re­jects "the commercial dissemination of im­ages of women that denigrate the dignity of women or their equality with the male sex".
Medierne opfordres til at respektere den menneskelige værdighed, at gennemføre ligestillingsfremmende strate­gier samt at medvirke til at ændre holdnin­gerne og derved fremme en "ægte ligestil­ling" i stedet for at bringe billeder, der med­virker til at fastholde eller endda forværre den eksisterende forskelsbehandling".
It calls on the media to respect human dignity, implement policies of equality be­tween the sexes and to contribute to chang­ing attitudes so as to bring about "genuine equality" rather than "transmitting images which tend to perpetuate or exacerbate the existing discriminatory situation".
Referent Angela Kokkola (PSE, Græken­land) gjorde Parlamentet opmærksom på uegnetheden af udtrykket "mainstreaming" for det at integrere ligestillingen i alle EU­politikker og ­aktiviteter, idet ordets betyd­ning er uklar for "alle på nær en lille mino­ritetsgruppe, som allerede beskæftiger sig med emnet ligestilling".
"Mainstreaming" is an unfortunate term to describe the integration of equal oppor­tunities into all EU policies and activities, rapporteur Angela Kokkola (PSE, Greece) told the Parliament, because it is confusing to "all but a small minority already working on equal opportunities".
Alligevel kaldte hun Kommissionens meddelelse om main­streaming et "stort fremskridt" hen imod an­erkendelsen af, at kvinder hidtil "ikke har nydt deres fulde andel af samfundsgoder­ l CUA ut OAÍS
Nonetheless, she welcomed the Commission's Communica­tion on mainstreaming as a "huge step for­ward" in recognising that women have so far not enjoyed "their full share of society's benefits".

The inclusion in the Treaty of the concept of European citizenship, a commitment to job creation, to promoting equal opportunities, to fighting discrimination, to protecting the environment and establishing gradually an "area of freedom, security and justice" has resulted in it being labelled by some as "The People's Treaty".

The need to establish an EU­wide cam­paign for zero tolerance of violence against women was supported by Marianne Eriks­son (GUE/NGL, Sweden) who is also call­ing for 1999 to be declared the European Year against violence against women.

bekæmpelse af vold mod kvitider.
"This is far too re­strictive and undemocratic."
Undertegningshøjtideligheden blev "hu­set" af Nederlandenes dronning Beatrix på kongeslottet i Amsterdam. Her roste kom­missionsformand Jacques Santer de frem­skridt, der var gjort med den nye traktat, navnlig på områderne beskæftigelse, sociale anliggender, retsvæsen og sikkerhed.
At the signing ceremony hosted by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in Ams­terdam's Royal Palace, European Commis­sion President Jacques Santer praised the ad­vances of the new Treaty, particularly in the fields of employment, social affairs, justice and security.
Han sagde, at EU havde været lydhør over for kritikken efter ratificeringen af Maastricht­traktaten.
He said the EU had taken on board the criticisms raised after the ratifica­tion of the Maastricht Treaty.
Uden for slottet lød der dog ikke desto mindre protestråb og krav om et me­re socialt Europa.
But outside the palace, protesters continued to call for a more social Europe.
I sit rapportfremlæg for Parlamentet fremhævede hun, at volden mod kvinder di­rekte hænger sammen med ligestillings­spørgsmålet, magtforholdene mellem de to køn og mænds syn på kvinder.
To date, three Member States ­ Ireland, Denmark and Portugal ­ have said they will be putting the Treaty to the test by organis­ing a referendum.
Hun advarede også om, at volden især udøves derhjemme, hvilket er med til at maskere problemet. I Sverige dør en kvinde hver 10. dag som følge af vold i hjemmet.
If ratification proceeds without a hitch, the Treaty should enter in­to force on 1 January 1999.
Hvis ratificeringen forløber gnidningsløst, forventes traktaten at træde i kraft pr. 1. ja­nuar 1999.
"Violence against women is widespread and occurs every­where in society", said Marianne Eriksson, who also warned most violence happens in the home helping to disguise the phenom­enon.
Kvinder tilgodeses
In Sweden, one woman dies every 10 days as a result of domestic violence.
Helena Torres Marques ønsker, at der for­ud for ratificeringen gennemføres oplys­ningskampagner i alle medlemsstater "for at gøre kvinder i hele EU opmærksom på for­delene" under den nye traktat.
Helena Torres Marques wants the launch­ing of information campaigns in each Member State, prior to ratification, "to make women across the Union aware of the gains" under the new Treaty.
Hun under­stregede behovet for endnu en traktatrevisi­on inden den første bølge af udvidelser med central­ og østeuropæiske lande.
She stressed the need for a further Treaty review before the first wave of enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe.
En sådan revision skulle, for så vidt angår kvinder, indbefatte en styrkelse af artiklen imod dis­kriminering, en juridisk klarlægning af lige­stillingens indvirkning på EU­politikkerne samt en udvidelse af den nuværende be­stemmelse om at sikre et tilstrækkeligt lov­grundlag for ligestilling på andre områder end arbejdsmarkedet.
For women, this review should include a strengthening of the article outlawing discrimination, a legal clarifica­tion of the implications of equality between women and men on EU policies and a broadening of the present provision to en­sure there is a strong legal basis for equality between women and men which goes be­yond the employment field.
For at bekæmpe problemet henstilles der i Parlamentets resolution om snarest muligt at få indført en bred vifte af lovgivnings­, forebyggelses­ og støtteforanstaltninger på internationalt, fælleseuropæisk og nationalt
Speaking about the new Treaty and its implications for women at a conference re­cently, European Commissioner Anita Gradin welcomed its provisions on equality saying that when ratified it "will provide new tools for more active work for equal opportunities".

Ambitious targets set for jobs
Forud for Rådets topmøde i Luxemburg den 21. november stillede Kommissionen medlemsstaterne en udfordring om at mindske ledigheden og skabe millioner af nye job.
In the run­up to the jobs summit to be held in Luxembourg on 21 November, the European Commission chal­lenged EU Member States to reduce unemployment and create millions of new jobs.
Hvad angår beskæftigelsen, sagde Anita Gradin, at den nye traktat grundlæggende er med til at sikre, at der ikke fastlægges nogen jobskabelsespolitik uden at tage kvindernes situation i betragtning.
On the employment front, Anita Gradin said the new Treaty lays down the ground to ensure no employment policy is put in place "without the situation of women being highlighted.
"Retten til at arbej­de og til at tjene sin egen løn er fundamen­tal for kvinders samfundsrettigheder", sagde hun.
The right to work and to earn one's own living is fundamental for women's rights in society".
For at nå målene har Kom­missionen baseret sine henstil­linger på fire hovedbegreber, nemlig en ny kultur af "iværk­sætterånd" og "beskæftigelses­
In the first of its employ­ment guidelines for Member States, one of the requirements of the Treaty's new chapter on employment, the Commission set ambitious job targets.
Helena Torres Marques (PSE, Portugal) har i sin udta­lelse på vegne af Parlamentets Udvalg om Kvinders Rettig­heder ligeledes rost den nye traktats vigtige fremskridt til fordel for kvinder.
Helena Torres Marques (PSE, Portugal) in her opinion for the European Parliament's Committee on Women's Rights also welcomed the im­portant gains for women in the new Treaty.
Selv om hun betegner de indførte ændringer som "et skridt i den rigtige ret­ning" for ligestillingen i EU, er hun fortsat skeptisk.
She said the changes made were "a step in the right direction" for equali­ty in the EU.
Udvalget gennemgik også den fælles ud­talelse, som på Rådets topmøde i juni blev vedtaget vedrørende direktivet om bevis­byrden i sager om kønsdiskriminering.
She outlined the Luxembourg Presiden­cy's priorities in the field of equal opportu­nities and spoke in particular about the pro­posals that have been forwarded to the Council in preparation for the November employment summit.
Ud­valgsmedlemmerne betegnede udtalelsen som et tilbageskridt, idet den ikke tog hen­syn til Parlamentets ændringsforslag. Der blev drøftet og vedtaget endnu et antal rap­porter og udtalelser. ·
These include propos­als on mainstreaming, the promotion of women into all levels of decision­making, a commitment to redefine paid and unpaid employment and new forms of work organ­isation.

Kommissi­onen anmoder endvidere medlemsstaterne om at forbedre deres virksomheders og ar­bejdsstyrkes evne til at tilpasse sig de skif­tende markedsbetingelser.
She was also critical of the new article banning discrimination which she said was "unsatisfactory both politically and from a legal point of view".
Den tidligere artikel om emnet forbød diskriminering grundet i nationalitet og havde derved en "direkte virkning", som gjorde borgerne i stand til at indbringe en sag for deres hjemlands domstole", forklare­de hun. Den nye artikel hjemler kun til at
