WRITTEN QUESTION E-2749/99 by Gérard Deprez (PPE-DE) to the Commission (18 January 2000) Subject: European campaign against violence against women In the context of the Daphne initiative and the European campaign against violence against women, which resulted from Parliament's 1997 resolution Violence against women (A4-0250/97(1)), could the Commission state: 1. which projects have been given aid in 1999, particularly in Belgium, 2. whether it considers these projects have had a real impact on violence against women, 3. if applicable, what does it intend to do to improve the effectiveness of these two initiatives, and 4. which campaign projects have already been drawn up and approved for 2000? (1) OJ C 304, 6.10.1997, p. 55. Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission (2 March 2000) As part of the European campaign to heighten public awareness about violence against women, the Commission has supported the following projects in Belgium: a national project involving the Council of French-speaking Women and a transnational project carried out by the European Women's Lobby. It is not possible for the Commission to evaluate at this stage the impact of these projects, since they are still in progress. The European campaign began in March 1999 and will end in May 2000. A closing conference is to be organised in collaboration with the Portuguese Presidency in Lisbon from 4 to 6 May 2000. In the course of this conference, a report evaluating the campaign will be presented. Its results will be taken into consideration for devising any future action in this field. The Commission wishes to point out to the Honourable Member that, under the Daphne initiative (1997-1999), it has given assistance to 150 activities involving organisations aiming to combat violence against women, several of which are in Belgium, and that it will continue this action under the Daphne programme (2000-2003). A list of the projects approved under this campaign is being sent directly to the Honourable Member and to the Secretariat of Parliament.
