Señora Montserrat, desde el aprecio y el respeto que le tengo, mezcla churras con merinas. Lo único que falla en la gestión de España es la oposición que tiene el Gobierno de España. Mire, la aprobación de la gestión de 2021 es el primero en el que estamos examinando el Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia y es de vital importancia que nuestro informe establezca una base sólida, objetiva y veraz para su análisis y que no proporcione información incorrecta o sesgada para la ciudadanía. En 2021 solo España recibió un pago, y ustedes deberían estar orgullosas de su país por esto, compañeras del Partido Popular. Y por ser el primero es el que mayor escrutinio está teniendo. La Comisión Europea ha reiterado en innumerables ocasiones que España había cumplido exhaustivamente todos y cada uno de los hitos y objetivos, como ha ocurrido en las posteriores solicitudes de pago. Señora Montserrat, usted no tuvo la suerte de venir a Madrid con la Comisión de Control Presupuestario, pero como se desprende de las conclusiones de la misión y como pudimos comprobar en persona, el Gobierno de España está realizando un gran trabajo de gestión de los fondos, y tras un gran esfuerzo ha desarrollado unos sistemas de control pioneros para evitar tanto los conflictos de interés como el mal uso de los fondos, algo que es lo que ocupa y preocupa a nuestra Comisión de Control Presupuestario. Toda la información sobre el uso de los fondos, convocatorias, proyectos aprobados está accesible para todo el público de forma transparente. Señora Benjumea, usted solo quiere un dato. Yo creo que con un dato no se ve el efecto de las reformas. Si usted busca esos datos en las páginas web seguro que los encuentra, pero hay que buscarlos. Así que, por favor, no intenten politizar este informe y ofrezcamos entre todos información veraz, como corresponde a nuestra responsabilidad institucional.

As said earlier, 2021 remained a challenging year where the pandemic was still requiring crisis responses and adaptations of working conditions. I am glad to note that all of the so-called nine other institutions managed to achieve high budget implementation, maintain and ensure full business continuity, switch to digital solutions, secure their networks, improve remote working conditions and carry on recruitments. Therefore, I encourage the shadow rapporteurs to adopt the discharges of all the other institutions, except for the Council and the European Council who refuses to participate in the discharge process. For the year to come, I would like to encourage our newest institution, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, to continue its important work on investigating, prosecuting and bringing to judgment crimes against the EU budget in order to protect EU’s financial interests and recover defrauded funds. I believe this new institution is crucial and should be entrusted with larger resources to fulfil a broader mandate, especially in the light of the current Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Po drugie, idąc w ślad za sprawozdawcą, za opinią Trybunału Obrachunkowego, trzeba powiedzieć, że w kwestii kontroli prowadzonych przez Komisję Europejską w kilku obszarach wyraźnie brakuje przejrzystości. Po pierwsze są to wydatki związane z Covidem – ja już nie chcę mówić o perypetiach Pani Przewodniczącej Von der Leyen, wiadomo jakich. Po drugie jest to finansowanie organizacji pozarządowych (NGOs). Wreszcie po trzecie korzystanie z usług konsultantów zewnętrznych. To są olbrzymie pieniądze. Jest też kwestia opóźnienia w realizacji zobowiązań i uruchamianiu nowych programów, a także chaotyczne wdrażanie RRF. Tutaj chodzi o duże obciążenie administracyjne po stronie państw członkowskich – to się oczywiście podobać nie może – a także nieczytelna i niekonsekwentna metodyka weryfikacji osiągnięcia kamieni milowych. Są zastrzeżenia co do prawidłowej realizacji jedynej skontrolowanej przez Trybunał płatności. Brakuje też – uwaga, to może szczególnie interesuje naszych podatników i wyborców – dokładnej analizy wpływu wydatków klimatycznych Unii Europejskiej. Mam wrażenie, że Komisja jednak nie do końca – przy całym szacunku dla Państwa, którzy tutaj są –skutecznie chroni interesy finansowych Unii Europejskiej.

Również w absolutorium dla Komisji znajdują się zapisy, z którymi nie możemy się zgodzić. Jest to m.in. wniosek o rozszerzenie obszarów, w których stosuje się EDES (system wczesnego wykrywania i wykluczenia), poza zarządzanie bezpośrednie i apel do Komisji o stosowanie go w odniesieniu do wszystkich funduszy unijnych, w tym funduszy zarządzania dzielonego. Kwestia uczestnictwa, a raczej braku uczestnictwa Rady Europejskiej w rocznej procedurze absolutoryjnej, która się ciągnie od lat. Rada Europejska i Rada nie uczestniczą w rocznej procedurze absolutoryjnej, nie odpowiada na zadawane przez Parlament pytania. Jej przedstawiciele nie stawiają się na posiedzeniach Komisji CONT. Zgodnie z artykułem 319 Traktatu o funkcjonowaniu Unii Europejskiej Parlament Europejski samodzielnie decyduje o udzieleniu absolutorium z wykonania budżetu ogólnego Unii, a budżet Rady Europejskiej i Rady jest sekcją budżetu Unii.

Relativamente às etapas futuras, reforço o pedido para que haja um maior planeamento, para que haja uma maior visibilidade deste fundo e a procura de resultados que sejam ainda mais positivos. Estes fundos exigem planos plurianuais que podem dar previsibilidade e estabilidade. Para além disso, exigem uma outra palavra: envolvimento. Envolvimento dos beneficiários, daqueles que vão também executar os fundos das autoridades locais e regionais. Neste sentido, é também importante, e insisto, que se envolvam os privados, para que possamos ter não só subvenções, mas também empréstimos no objetivo do desenvolvimento. A União Europeia, que é o maior doador mundial, que é quem mais ajuda ao desenvolvimento, deve manter esta prioridade em relação às economias que mais precisam, com a pretensão também de reduzir a pobreza. E congratulo—me com o facto de o Fundo Europeu de Desenvolvimento estar a ser cada vez mais usado para a educação e a formação profissional. É dessa forma que podemos dar esperanças à juventude e, nomeadamente, à juventude do continente africano. Neste momento, em África, temos 1250 milhões de pessoas. Em 2050 serão o dobro, 2500 milhões. A média de idades será de cerca de 21 anos, uma população muito jovem. Temos a obrigação de lhes dar esperança e de possibilitar que possam viver no seu território, na terra que amam.

Because every day, women in Europe are murdered because of the violence that they suffer from their partner. Every week, more than 50 women are murdered in their own homes. Every third woman and girl in the EU has experienced physical or sexual violence, and 85% of all violent and sexual crimes are never reported to the police. This is 2023, and it is still happening.  After almost ten years of pushing from the European Parliament from this House, now the ratification of the Istanbul Convention will finally raise the standard in combating and preventing gender—based violence across Europe. This means that we will be better in coordinating the necessary measures in the EU. We will be better in collecting data on how the situation is in every Member State. We will strengthen the judicial cooperation, share the best practices between countries and the EU will have a new role in monitoring how well the convention is being implemented. This is big.  At the same time, in this historic decision, we are sending a clear political message that Europe has zero tolerance on violence against women. It is needed because women’s rights are restricted around the world and the oppression and the violence have increased.  I also have another message. I want to send my strongest call to those remaining Member States, those six remaining Member States in the EU, to also individually ratify the Istanbul Convention. It is time for you to stand on the right side of history and to support women’s rights to life free from violence.  Because fighting violence against women is about standing up for women’s freedom. It is about defending the fundamental rights and equality in Europe. This is what Europe is about. This is what this House is about, that we are a union of freedom, so let’s defend it all the way.

Dzięki Konwencji Stambulskiej kremlowskie standardy, takie jak na przykład to że pierwsze pobicie w rodzinie nie jest klasyfikowane jako przemoc, nie mogą zaistnieć. Tolerowanie przemocy, przymykanie oka, zamiatanie pod dywan także jest złem. Przemoc ze względu na płeć jest największym nierozwiązanym problemem w Europie. Co trzecia kobieta w Unii doświadczyła przemocy seksualnej bądź fizycznej. Co trzecia, 62 miliony Europejek. Te dane mówią same za siebie. Nie trzeba ich komentować. Z tego miejsca trzeba chyba zapytać prawicowych hipokrytów, jaka jest wartość rodziny, gdy matka jest sponiewierana przez ojca? Jakie dobro religijne jest ważniejsze niż życie i zdrowie matki, żony czy dziecka? Jakie? Konwencja Stambulska to zdrowie i bezpieczeństwo, nie polityka. Dzięki przystąpieniu do niej najwyższe standardy ochrony przed przemocą będą obowiązywać w europejskim prawie. Konwencja dotrze w ten sposób do krajów, które jeszcze jej nie przyjęły. Stanie się także elementem porządku prawnego Węgier czy Słowacji. Dotrze tym samym do krajów, do których podobnie jak do Polski docierają tysiące kobiet z Ukrainy. Kobiet po przejściach, które są narażone na kolejne traumy.  Przyjmując konwencję w Unii, otwieramy nad nimi unijny parasol antyprzemocowy. Niemniej musimy przypominać, że do pełnej ochrony niezbędne jest przystąpienie indywidualne reszty państw. I będziemy wam patrzeć na ręce. Czechy, Węgry, Słowacja, Bułgaria, Litwa i Łotwa – nie lękajcie się. Po drugie, dzięki przystąpieniu Unii do Konwencji zunifikujemy ochronę poprzez wiążący instrument do przezwyciężania zróżnicowanych polityk w państwach członkowskich i do promocji międzynarodowej współpracy przeciwko przemocy, przemocy ze względu na płeć. Co prawda nie chodzi o pieniądze, ale to one pokazują skalę problemu, z którym się mierzymy. Szacowany koszt przemocy ze względu na płeć w Unii wzrósł o jedną trzecią. Wydajemy co roku 366 mld euro na ten cel.  Po trzecie, co ważne, z polskiej perspektywy zdobywamy dodatkowy bezpiecznik obowiązywania konwencji w kraju, drugą parasolkę. Dopóki Polska będzie w Unii i będzie związana prawem unijnym, konwencja będzie ochraniać obywatelki Polski. Jednocześnie przyjmując konwencję, wzmacniamy integrację Polski z Unią Europejską. Bardzo mnie to cieszy. Po to poszedłem do polityki. Musimy nasze mamy, żony, partnerki, córki i przyjaciółki zabezpieczyć na niebezpieczny czas rządów populistów, tak w Polsce, jak i w całej Unii Europejskiej. To wielki dzień Europy.  And in the end I would like to thank Arba Kokalari, the Swedish Presidency and all the others who work with us. We made the European Union a better place to live.

Esta é só a ponta do iceberg. Estima—se que, em todo o mundo, uma em cada três mulheres já foi vítima de violência. A Convenção de Istambul estabelece normas para prevenir a violência baseada no género, proteger as vítimas e punir os agressores. Este Parlamento tem, esta semana, a possibilidade de dar um passo histórico na proteção das mulheres europeias. Apelo a todos os meus colegas que, quando votarem amanhã sobre esta convenção, o façam em nome das mulheres húngaras, checas, búlgaras, eslovacas, lituanas e letãs, países que ainda não a ratificaram.

I thank this House for sharing this view and for the continuous support for the common objective of eradicating violence against women and domestic violence. You have played a key role in keeping the EU’s accession to the Council of Europe Istanbul Convention high on the European political agenda for many years. The Commission welcomes the positive outcome of negotiations towards the conclusion of this Convention in both the Council and Parliament. The EU’s accession will reinforce the Union’s legal framework and send a strong message to all victims of violence against women and domestic violence on the importance of women’s rights in the EU. We need to combat violence against women on a common basis and ensure all women across Europe receive the same rights, support and protection. To date, protection for women at risk of violence and their access to support services vary between the different Member States. The EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention will play a unifying role in raising awareness and promoting the exchange of good practices throughout the EU. The EU action provides an opportunity to contribute towards international progress in ending violence against women and be a global frontrunner on this topic. The EU accession will ensure the application of all relevant provisions of the Convention which fall under EU competence. We have already taken several policy and legislative measures which contribute to the implementation of the Convention at EU level. We have funding in place through the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme, as well as legislation on trafficking in human beings and victims’ rights, to give some examples. The Commission has proposed a directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence, which aims at achieving the same objectives as the Istanbul Convention in the area of judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The proposed directive, once adopted by the co-legislators, will serve to implement the relevant parts of the Convention on prevention, protection, access to justice, and policy coordination and cooperation. We will be putting forward recommendations on combating harmful practices. We are setting up a network of gender-based violence experts. The finalisation of the EU accession process is another step in the direction of eradicating violence against women.

The statistics, as we have heard from Arba and Łukasz, are absolutely horrifying right across Europe and the world indeed. And they continue to be. Make no mistake: gender equality is at the very heart of our fundamental European values. And as we mark Europe Day to day, what better way to pay tribute to that core value than finally going to one of the key roots of gender inequality – this most heinous of crimes – and interrupting it and stopping it. The ratification of the Istanbul Convention will save the lives of women in Europe. But of course it is all about implementation right across every Member State.  Yet it is just the first step. It is my fervent hope that within a year we will mark another very important occasion in this battle by adopting the directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence. I hope that rape will be included in that directive. And I call in all the Member States to ensure that it is and withdraw their objections.  Colleagues, we are finally beginning to take this fight seriously and putting more on the table than just words. Let’s make this Istanbul Convention a reality for women right across Europe.

L'Unione sarà migliore da domani, sarà un'Unione che finalmente riconoscerà come dramma sociale la violenza che le donne subiscono soltanto per la colpa di essere nate donne, soltanto per la colpa di essere loro stesse, per il loro desiderio, per il nostro desiderio di emancipazione, per la nostra volontà di autodeterminazione. Dobbiamo riconoscere però che a questa ratifica noi siamo arrivati troppo tardi. Troppi ritardi, troppi veti incrociati hanno bloccato un processo il cui unico scopo era quello di lottare, di debellare una malattia che è molto presente nelle nostre società e che si chiama "odio verso le donne". E noi stiamo arrivando a debellare, ci arriveremo a debellare quella malattia, ma lo stiamo facendo a piccoli passi. Invece i passi che servirebbero sono ben diversi, noi avremmo bisogno di correre, colleghe e colleghi, avremmo bisogno di saltare e avremmo bisogno di fare molto di più, considerati i numeri di questa guerra quotidiana che viene mossa alle donne. Voglio comunque celebrare insieme a voi un risultato politico importante, a cui siamo arrivati grazie allo sforzo collettivo di questo Parlamento e a quello delle tante donne che non hanno mai gettato la spugna. Allora questo voto simbolico, storico, vorrei dedicarlo a tutte loro, a tutte noi, fatemelo dire, alle donne che lottano ogni giorno, a quelle che non si arrendono nonostante le tante difficoltà e che continuano a lottare, quelle che continuano a lottare in quest'Aula ma quelle che continuano a lottare soprattutto fuori da quest'Aula.

Women and girls in the EU and the entire world need the safeguards from the Istanbul Convention. But tackling gender-based violence is not easy. Simply criminalising rape, other forms of sexual violence and physical violence is not efficient. It requires a holistic approach which revolves around supporting the victim and punishing the perpetrator. The Convention recognises violence against women as a violation of human rights and a serious form of discrimination against women. It obliges parties to criminalise psychological violence, stalking, physical violence, sexual violence, including rape, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, forced abortion, forced sterilisation and sexual harassment. It further obliges to invest in education, training for experts and treatment programmes for perpetrators as a part of the prevention of violence and to establish appropriate support services ensuring victim protection. These obligations are not too much to ask. This is what the women and girls need, and I am counting on this House to support the accession to the Convention. And I would also like to take the opportunity to also ask the Council to do right by our women and girls and ensure the swift accession.

Dziękuję wszystkim na tej sali, którzy przez ostatnie lata apelowali do Rady i do Komisji Europejskiej. Dziękuję aktywistom i aktywistkom, którzy bardzo aktywnie przez ostatnie lata walczyli o ratyfikację.  Dla mnie osobiście to szczególny moment. 20 lat temu w Polsce pracowałam nad pierwszym projektem ustawy o przeciwdziałaniu przemocy domowej. Dziesięć lat temu koordynowałam prace nad ratyfikacją konwencji przez Polskę. A dzisiaj mam zaszczyt brać udział w podejmowaniu przez Parlament Europejski tej historycznej decyzji.  Na koniec apeluję do wszystkich na tej sali. Bezpieczeństwo, zdrowie, życie kobiet nie ma barw politycznych. Przemocy doświadczają wyborczynie i PPE, i S&D, i ECR i ID. Stańmy jutro wszyscy i wszystkie po stronie kobiet.
