Lige siden, han tiltrådte sit toethalvt år lange mandat, har han været en helhjertet fortaler for Borgernes EU.
Since the beginning of his two and a half year term in office, he has been a fervent supporter of citizen's Europe.
Han slog til lyd for ideen under Regeringskonferencen, hvor han samtidig anmodede om, at Parlamentet fik større beføjelser i EU-beslutningstagningen.
He pushed for this throughout the IGC talks alongside a demand for greater powers in EU decision­making for the European Parliament. In this exclusive interview,

I vort interview med ham afslørede han, at den største indflydelse på hans politiske karriere kom fra faderen, José-María Gil-Robles Quiñones, der grundlagde og ledte Folkeaktionspartiet og Det Spanske Menneskerettighedsforbund, ligesom han var forsvarsminister under Spaniens Anden Republik.
In the interview he revealed that the greatest influence on his political career was his father, José­María Gil­Robles Quiñones, a founder and president of the Peoples Action Party and the Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right and a Defence Minister du­ring Spain's Second Republic.

Gil-Degado sagde om årene i eksil: "De år betød, at jeg voksede op i et multinationalt miljø, der hjalp mig til at lære fremmedsprog, og til at få øje for den tolerance, der opstår gen nem kontakten med folk fra forskellige kulturer og af forskellig politisk observans.
His years in exile "meant that I grew up in a multinational environment which hel­ped me with foreign language learning, and helped nurture the tolerance that comes from contact with people of different cultures and political ideologies."This experience, he said, "helped me to understand from a very early age that only democracy allows people to live with real dignity."

Han har været medlem af de spanske kristelige demokraters Eksekutivråd, og han var Generalsekretær for partiets første kongres i 1977.
He was a member of the executive of the Spanish christian democrats and Secretary general at their first par­ty congress in 1977.

Hans interesse i EU-politik begyndte i en ung alder: "Ideen om demokrati og ideen om et samlet Europa hænger meget nært sammen mine medborgeres tænke- og handlemåde.
His interest in European politics started at a young age. "The idea of democracy and the idea of Europe are very closely linked in the way my fellow citizens think and act.
Denne sammenhæng var inden for de kristeligt-demokratiske kredse et konkret bevis på vor gen vundne frihed og en sikkerhed for, at vi ikke skulle miste friheden igen".
In Christian Democrat circles, this link was concrete proof that we had recovered our freedom and it was a guarantee we were not going to lose it again."

T concerns. Respect for fundamental rights and human rights, the adopted to proceed, on I January 1999, to the third phase of monetary union which will see the Euro becoming a fully­fledged currency.
Men er denne pengemæssige revolution virkelig det, alle borgerne ønsker?
But is this really a monetary revolution for all citizens?
menneskerettighederne og de grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder, retten til et højt beskæftigelsesniveau og til lige muligheder, fri bevægelse, en anstændig levestandard, et godt sundhedsniveau samt et rent miljø er nedfældet i traktaten i form af enten skærpede eller helt nye bestemmelser.
high levels of employment, to equality of opportunity, to free movement, to decent standards of living, good health and a clean environment are in the Treaty either as new provisions or strengthened ones.
Men reaktionerne på den nye traktat er blandede, hvilket fremgår af en række interviews, som Europas Kvinder Nyhedsbrev har haft med kvindelige politikere og medborgere (side 2-3).
But reactions to this new Treaty are mixed, as witnessed in a series of interviews given to Women of Europe Newsletter by women politicians and citizens (pages 2 and 3).

Kvinder er på én gang mere tøvende og mindre oplyste end mænd, når det gælder overgangen til euro.
Women are both more reticent about adopting a European single currency and less well informed than men.
Meningsundersøgelser viser, at stigningen i an­delen af positive udtalelser om euroen i de seneste måneder har været klart højere blandt mænd end blandt kvinder.
Surveys reveal that the increase in posi­tive attitudes recorded over the past few months on the single currency is clearly higher among men than among women.
En påtrængende opgave for Kommis­sionen er derfor at øge informationsindsatsen med kvinder som målgruppe.
Consequently, a greater infor­mation effort targeting women must be made by the Commission.
Amsterdam­traktaten danner nye lovrammer for EU, hvorved sociale behov og borgerrettigheder kom­mer til at stå mere centralt i Unionens virke.
The Amsterdam Treaty sets a new legal framework for the European Union which makes social needs and civil rights more central to its functioning.
Omend nogle iagttagere stadig er kri­tiske, er den nye traktat resul­tatet af et forlig mellem de 15 regeringer, selv om der har været stærk uenighed blandt dem om, hvor meget af beslut­ningstagningen, der skulle fore­gå på EU­niveau, og hvor meget der skulle overlades til regeringerne og til selve EU­politikkens udformning.
Although some observers re­main critical, the new Treaty is the result of a consensus reached between the 15 governments, even though there was serious disagreement amongst them con­cerning how much decision­making should take place at a Eu­ropean level and how much should remain solely with govern­ments and the shape of EU policy itself.
Men kvinder regner ikke mindst med medierne for at få mere at vide.
But women count also ­ and above all ­ on the media to be better informed.
Når man ser på kvinders "medieforbrug", kan man udlede, at TV ­ fulgt af radioen og den skrevne presse ­ for dem spiller en meget væsentlig rolle med hensyn til at forklare, hvad ØMU går ud på, hvad konsekvenserne bliver, og hvad man bør foretage sig i den anledning.
When their media "consumption" patterns are taken into considera­tion, the conclusions are that television, followed by radio and the print press have a particularly signifi­cant role to play in explaining to them what is at stake with EMU, to reassure them about its effects and inform them what arrangements to make.
Foranstaltninger til positiv særbe­handling, der giver konkrete forde­le til kvinder for at gøre det lettere for dem at udøve erhvervsaktivitet eller for at forhindre eller opveje ulemper i relation til deres er­hvervskarriere, er nu tilladt ifølge traktaten.
Positive action measures offer­ing "specific advantages" to women to make it easier "to pursue a vocational activity or to prevent or compensate for disadvantages in professional careers" are now allowed under the Treaty.
Men bestemmelsen om, at sådanne foran­staltninger skulle begrænses til "arbejdsli­vet" og ikke kun gælde for kvinder men for "det underrepræsenterede køn" (hvilket i nogle tilfælde kan være mænd), har skuffet mange kvindeorganisationer.
But the pro­vision that these measures should be limit­ed to "working life" and be targeted not just at women but at the "under­represented sex", which in some cases could be men, disappointed many women's organisations.
I et bilag til traktaten erklæres det dog, at medlemssta­terne, når de vedtager foranstaltninger til positiv særbehandling "i første instans bør tilstræbe at forbedre situationen for er­hvervsaktive kvinder".
A declaration annexed to this Article says, however, that Member States "should, in the first instance, aim at improving the situ­ation of women in working life" when adopting such measures.
Inden for disse politiske begrænsinger udgor traktaten et fremskridt for Borgernes EU.
Within these political constraints, the Treaty represents an advance for Citizen's Europe.
For forste gang giver en anti­diskrimi­neringsklausul Unionen magt til at forbyde al forskelsbehandling grundet i "kon, race, etnisk oprindelse, religion og overbevis­ning, handicap, alder eller seksuelt tilhors­forhold".
For the first time, an anti­discrimi­nation clause gives the EU power to outlaw all discrimination based on "sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion and belief, disability, age or sexual orientation".
Alt dette tilfojes det eksisterende forbud imod at diskriminere på grundlag af nationalitet.
This is in addi­tion to an anti­discrimination ban on the basis of nationality.
Et nyt skub fremad for beskæftigelsen
Employment given new impetus
Desuden forpligter Unionen sig i trakta­ten til at overholde de rettigheder, som i 1950 blev nedfældet i Europarådets kon­vention til beskyttelse af menneskerettighe­der og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder.
The European Union also promises in the Treaty to respect the rights guaranteed in the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Funda­mental Freedoms.
