Parmi les grands absents de ces engagements figuraient les États-Unis de M. Trump, le Brésil, la Biélorussie ainsi que deux de nos États Membres. Malgré cela, les engagements de Nairobi avaient amené une nouvelle dynamique mondiale. L’arrivée de la pandémie a bouleversé le monde et en particulier la vie des femmes. Elles subissent une «double pandémie» comme l’a rappelé M. António Guterres. Les chiffres parlent d’eux-mêmes: les violences conjugales ont augmenté de 25 % partout dans le monde, 11 millions de filles pourraient abandonner l’école, 1,4 million de grossesses non désirées ont dû être menées à terme De plus, certains gouvernements ont saisi l’opportunité d’imposer leur idéologie conservatrice en interdisant de facto l’interruption volontaire de grossesse, en se retirant de la Convention d’Istanbul  Alors, plus d’un an et demi après le sommet, il me semble pertinent de vous demander, Madame la Commissaire, quelles mesures concrètes ont été mises en place et quels financements sont prévus pour ces questions dans le cadre de «Global Europe», alors qu’un nouveau «Gender Action Plan» a été lancé.  L’Europe, par sa diplomatie féministe, inspire les autres nations par ses positions fortes, et ses législations mais, pour continuer à être crédibles, il faut un engagement conjoint de l’Union et de tous nos États Membres. Mes chers collègues, notre diplomatie féministe doit être portée par chacun d’entre nous. L’engagement des hommes et des garçons est déterminant pour parvenir à un nouveau modèle de société. La semaine prochaine à Paris aura lieu le Forum Génération Égalité. J’appelle l’Union européenne, tous les gouvernements, les organisations et la société civile à se mobiliser pour que chaque fille et chaque garçon puisse trouver sa place dans la société et s’épanouir dans le respect et la dignité de chacun. Pour construire une vraie «Generation Equality».

I can assure you that the Commission is committed to continue playing a leading role in women’s and girls’ empowerment and access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and to promote the commitments reached in Nairobi.  I would like to make three points. First, our increased ambition is exemplified by the new Gender Action Plan (GAP) III that the Commission and High Representative presented last November. We support gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights through a range of interventions at bilateral, regional and global levels. We closely partner with the United Nations Population Fund to strengthen SRHR and increase access to family planning in low and middle income countries through the UNFPA supplies partnership.  We are further increasing support for SRHR with a focus on vulnerable adolescents in Africa. I am pleased to confirm we issued last year a call for proposals to civil society organisations with an initial investment of EUR 30.5 million. It will address critical gaps and needs such as teenage pregnancy, early marriage and family planning.  The EU-UN Spotlight initiative, the biggest ever global effort to eliminate violence against women and girls, is up and running in 26 countries across six regions, with total funding of EUR 500 million. Of this amount, 100 million is specifically earmarked for SRHR.  Second, with its 20% spending target for human development, the new Neighbourhood Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) – Global Europe will further accelerate our support to help SRHR and gender equality. NDICI incorporates the GAP III targets on gender mainstreaming in projects and programmes. At least 85% of all our new actions will contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment, and out of this a minimum of 5% will have gender equality as the principal objective. A number of Team Europe initiatives promoting gender equality and SRHR are being explored with Member States at country and regional level.  Finally, these investments in equality go hand in hand with our broader initiatives to support girls’ education. This is all the more relevant today as COVID—19 has led to one of the worst education crises in history for children around the world, with young girls bearing the brunt of the suffering. This is why we strongly support the objective of 40 million more girls in schools by 2026 and 20 million more girls reading by age 10 or end of primary school. To achieve these goals, we need sustainable financing and this is why I am especially proud of our recent release of EUR 700 million to support the Global Partnership for Education over the next seven years.  I look forward to continuing working with this House to contribute to providing every girl and every woman the opportunities to build their future.

I believe that the ambitions highlighted during the conference are not only achievable, but imperative. We need strong political commitment to make it a reality. Women’s rights are at the centre of development policy, and achieving gender equality will have a ripple effect moving forward in other crucial areas, too, like healthcare, economic development and reducing poverty. We must act now. Three quick points. The first is the need to tackle FGM, this horrific violence against women. Secondly, we need male champions. It’s time to take the burden of gender equality off the shoulders of women and move forward on this shared goal together. Finally, I want to express my outrage at the alternative statement that was issued at the end of the summit by some countries, including the US, Poland and Hungary.  Opposing reproductive rights only forces women to make harder decisions, one that puts their lives in danger. It doesn’t eradicate the problem. Those countries should be ashamed of their statement. And I want to really applaud the EU delegation for taking action and standing up in opposition to that text in Nairobi. That was an important statement.

However, when evaluating the progress today, it is clear that in many parts of the world we have seen a bigger backlash in the last years than we have seen progress, including in the EU. Colleagues, SRHR and the right to be protected from violence is not to be taken for granted. Even in this Parliament we have anti—gender equality advocates, clunky anti—human rights advocates.  These last days I have been, as many others, focusing on different resolutions. One of them is the resolution by my Social Democratic colleague Fred Matić in the report on SRHR, and the other is a report I myself am shadow for the S&D for, and that is on making gender—based violence an EU crime in the whole European Union. I must say that the resistance against a gender—equal world from the right wing in this Parliament is not encouraging, if we really want a Union for all women and girls and a Union that takes global leadership.  My question to the Commission and the Council is, how are we making sure to step up the efforts?

Nous devons soutenir les résultats du sommet de Nairobi afin d’accélérer la mise en œuvre et le financement du programme d’action. Nous devons nous concentrer sur la recherche de solutions viables avec les communautés concernées pour arriver à l’égalité de genre, à la santé sexuelle et reproductive. Nous devons également garantir une participation effective et inclusive des adolescents à toutes les étapes de la prise de décision. Il est donc important de promouvoir une éducation sexuelle qui favorise leur épanouissement, comme nous l’ont demandé les jeunes, lors de notre mission à Nairobi.

Reconhecemos o progresso alcançado em áreas específicas como o aumento da disponibilidade de contracetivos ou a redução da mortalidade materna e neonatal, mas são necessários esforços e medidas concretas para atingir os objetivos do programa. É, pois, necessário garantir o direito à saúde sexual e reprodutiva, a plena acessibilidade à IVG, a liberdade de escolha da mulher do método contracetivo, mais educação sexual, mais campanhas de informação e sensibilização das mulheres sobre os direitos da saúde sexual e reprodutiva, a formação contínua dos técnicos na área do planeamento familiar e, claro, o reforço dos serviços públicos de saúde que garantam a universalidade destes direitos. Está na altura de garantirmos que estes compromissos políticos saem do papel e se concretizam para todas as mulheres, raparigas e jovens.

Senhor Presidente, Senhora Comissária, Senhora representante da presidência, a defesa intransigente dos direitos individuais, em particular dos direitos consagrados na Cimeira de Nairóbi em matéria de combate à morte materna, planeamento familiar, violência baseada no género ou o combate a práticas nocivas contra mulheres e raparigas, constitui um passo determinante para que sejamos mais capazes de cumprir os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável até 2030 num mundo cada vez mais complexo.  Temos de fazer da próxima década também a década da igualdade de género e dos direitos das mulheres. As consequências da epidemia da COVID-19 limitaram ainda mais o acesso aos serviços à educação em matéria de saúde sexual e reprodutiva, agravaram o problema da discriminação e da violência contra as mulheres e as raparigas. Temos que assegurar que cada pessoa tenha pleno controlo e direito a decidir, de forma livre e responsável, em relação a questões ligadas à saúde, sexualidade, direitos sexuais e reprodutivos sem discriminação, coerência e violência.  É fundamental, para terminar, que a União Europeia continue empenhada no cumprimento dos princípios emanados da Cimeira de Nairóbi e que o Global Europe seja aplicado tendo em conta a promoção das várias dimensões da valorização das mulheres, da afirmação dos seus direitos e da promoção da igualdade de género.

Herr Präsident, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Europäische Entwicklungspolitik orientiert sich an den SDG der Vereinten Nationen. Insbesondere das fünfte Ziel, nämlich die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter, ist mir heute und darüber hinaus wichtig. Wir müssen der Frauenförderung in der Entwicklungspolitik noch mehr Platz einräumen.  Denn die Frauen sind die wahren Perlen, vor allem in Afrika, und die starke, zuverlässige Konstante für den Zusammenhalt und die Entfaltung ihrer Familien. 80 Prozent der Nahrung werden z. B. in Afrika von Frauen produziert. Sie sind das Rückgrat der afrikanischen Wirtschaft – ob Landwirtschaft, Handel oder Einzelvermarktung.  Deshalb muss die flächendeckende Schulbildung, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit sowie die Gesundheitsversorgung und Aufklärung der Mädchen und Frauen endlich höchste Priorität für unsere Partnerländer haben. Dazu zählt auch die Vermeidung der Müttersterblichkeit oder der Kampf gegen Gewalt und Diskriminierung. Der Nairobi—Gipfel sollte die Erreichung dieser Ziele dringendst beschleunigen. Für mich ist aber auch klar als Christin: Lebensschutz darf nicht unter die Räder kommen. Es gibt ein Recht auf Leben, auch des ungeborenen Kindes.

Together with our partners, we must continue striving to achieve the goal of three zeros by 2030: zero unmet needs for contraception; zero preventable maternal deaths; and zero gender—based violence and harmful practices.  The Generation Equality Forum and its action coalitions, including on fighting gender—based violence, which we are co—leading, will happen next week. It will also provide a unique opportunity to scale up actions at the global level.  In terms of following up efforts under GAP III, we will report on the results and impacts of EU funding throughout all key areas of engagement. We will assess the impact of EU action in line with the EU results framework, selected SDGs and other indicators and other reporting commitments.  So thank you once again for the opportunity to discuss this issue, which is very close to my heart. The EU will play its full part to support the empowerment of women and girls around the world.

Como tive oportunidade de dizer, a proteção dos direitos das mulheres e das raparigas, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à saúde sexual e reprodutiva e aos direitos conexos, o respeito pelos objetivos e pelos princípios da Cimeira de Nairóbi continua a ser uma das principais prioridades do Conselho. E ficou claro neste debate que ela é também uma prioridade do Parlamento Europeu e da Comissão. Estamos também de acordo que esta matéria se tornou ainda mais prioritária no atual contexto de pandemia face aos numerosos desafios colocados no respeito pelos direitos das mulheres e das raparigas, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à saúde sexual e reprodutiva. Foi por esse motivo, repito, que a Presidência se empenhou em conseguir alcançar conclusões do Conselho sobre uma recuperação pós-COVID baseada nos direitos humanos que tenha em conta a dimensão do género, em especial a necessidade de assegurar o pleno exercício dos direitos humanos pelas raparigas e pelas mulheres.  Sabemos que, 25 anos depois do Cairo, falta ainda muito. Sabemos que, quase dois anos depois de Nairóbi, ainda precisamos de trabalhar muito. Mas estamos de acordo, as três instituições aqui presentes hoje nessa sala. E sabemos que só juntos, que só trabalhando em conjunto, poderemos alcançar estes objetivos e encontrar finalmente uma fórmula para que as mulheres vejam os seus direitos respeitados, vejam a sua possibilidade de viver sem violência e alcançar uma verdadeira igualdade.  Vamos trabalhar por isso.

Concretamente, é necessário garantir: o direito à saúde sexual e reprodutiva, a plena acessibilidade à interrupção voluntária da gravidez, a liberdade de escolha da mulher quanto ao método contracetivo, mais educação sexual, mais campanhas de informação e sensibilização das mulheres sobre os seus direitos no que se refere à saúde sexual e reprodutiva, formação contínua dos técnicos na área do planeamento familiar.

Te činjenice nikada i nitko ne treba smetnuti s uma. Danas nerijetko svjedočimo pozivima za neosnovanim jačanjem utjecaja i moći europskih institucija, pogotovo onih koje nisu izabrane direktno od strane samih građana. Brojna su područja i kompetencije u kojima Europska komisija ne može bolje i svrsishodnije djelovati od izabranih predstavnika nacionalnih država.  Svako neosnovano širenje ovlasti Unije, zbog želje za više moći i utjecaja, pogubno je za demokraciju a dugoročno i za sam opstanak unije. Ravnopravnost država članica najvažnija je njezina vrijednost i o tome ovisi isključivo i opstanak same Europske unije. Bez poštovanja prava svake države da se razvije i napreduje unutar Europske unije i bez poštivanja naših različitosti, naš zajednički europski projekt osuđen je na neuspjeh.  Izvješće koje danas stavljamo pred vas, članove Europskog parlamenta, upravo se bavi s dva ključna načela funkcioniranja Europske unije. To su načelo supsidijarnosti i načelo proporcionalnosti kojima smo ograničili i uredili granice nadležnosti Europske unije i definirali kada i u kojemu opsegu Unija može i treba djelovati a kada donošenje zakona treba prepustiti državama članicama.  Također, ovo izvješće sadrži i iznimno važan poziv svim članovima parlamenta, svim državama članicama i građanima Europske unije da se Unija mora mijenjati i da se moć predlaganja zakona mora dati građanima i njihovim zastupnicima u Europskom parlamentu. Zbog toga sam, uz podršku kolega, u ovo izvješće ugradio amandman kojim pozivam na reviziju Ugovora o funkcioniranju Europske unije i uvođenje izravnog prava Europskog parlamenta na zakonodavnu inicijativu. Europski parlament je jedino tijelo Europske unije izravno izabrano od strane građana i Europski parlament predstavlja autentičnu volju građana Europske unije.  Ovo izvješće detektira slabe točke mehanizma kontrole poštivanja načela supsidijarnosti i proporcionalnosti ali nudi i rješenja. Kvalitetnije uključivanje nacionalnih parlamenata u zakonodavni postupak, pružanje kvalitetnih i razumljivih objašnjenja o potrebama za novim zakonodavnim inicijativama, omogućavanje boljeg pristupa pripremi zakonodavnih tekstova i naravno omogućavanje Europskom parlamentu da samostalno predlaže zakone. Poštivanje načela supsidijarnosti i proporcionalnosti, kao temelja Europske unije, trajna je i važna obveza svih institucija jer njihovim poštivanjem poštuju se sve države članice i poštuju se svi građani Europske unije a upravo su oni osnivači, smisao, svrha postojanja Europske unije.  Usvajanjem ovog izvješća doprinijet ćemo poboljšanju mehanizma kontrole poštivanja tih načela i građanima omogućiti kvalitetnije propise a to upravo i jest naš temeljni zadatak. Hvala svima koji su sudjelovali u njegovoj izradi i nadam se da ćemo ga sutra prihvatiti.

A világjárvány okozta válság felfedte, hogy milyen jelentősége van a szabályozási terhek csökkentésének. A túlszabályozás akadályozza a gazdasági fellendülést, különösen igaz ez a kisvállalati szektor, valamint a mikrovállalkozások vonatkozásában. A jogalkotás minőségének javításával kapcsolatos célkitűzéseket és eredményeket e téren is rendszeresen felül kell vizsgálni és értékelni kell. Az Európai Unió a jogállamiságon alapul, így az uniós intézményeknek meg kell felelniük a Szerződések által előírt jogalkotási elveknek, intézkedéseiknek összhangban kell állniuk a Szerződésekkel, amelyeket a tagállamok önkéntesen és demokratikusan fogadtak el. Nincs helye politikai, ideológiai elfogultságoknak, mert azok aláássák az egységes, egyenlő elbánás elvét, lerombolják az intézmények tekintélyét. A jogállamisági elvek tagállami betartásáért síkra szálló uniós intézményeknek példát kellene mutatniuk, hogy maguk is ezeket az elveket követik.
