European Parliament
Arvidsson, Cederschiöld, Grönfeldt Bergman, Stenmarck and Wachtmeister (PPE-DE ),
in writing.
(SV)
The principle of subsidiarity is important to us. We want to see a limited and efficient EU dealing with cross-border problems. To the extent that equality is a political issue, we believe that it is an area of responsibility for the Member States. Consequently, we do not want the EU to use its budget for distributing funds to organisations concerned with gender equality.
We have therefore abstained from voting on this matter.
