And I should like to stress, in the light of certain comments, that the women' s lobby really does play an important coordinating role at European level and that there are no protests or complaints in the Commission about exempting certain organisations; on the contrary, European organisations as a whole are able to take part in all the programmes, such as this programme, EQUAL, the programme to combat discrimination, the programme to combat exclusion, DAPHNE or STOP.
På det punkt vil jeg gerne på foranledning af nogle bemærkninger understrege, at kvindernes lobby virkelig spiller en vigtig, koordinerende rolle på europæisk niveau. Kommissionen har ikke nogle indsigelser eller klager over undtagelsen af visse organisationer, men alle de europæiske organisationer kan naturligvis deltage i alle programmerne, såsom dette, Equal, programmet mod forskelsbehandling, programmet mod udelukkelse, Daphne eller Stop.
