European Parliament
Timothy Kirkhope (PPE-DE ),
in writing
I and my British Conservative colleagues are strong supporters of equality of opportunity for all women, including Romani women across Europe.
However, we have abstained on this report today as we do not support the proliferation of new EU agencies and institutes (as outlined in paragraph 1) that will add to the burden of the taxpayer and increase bureaucracy without any proven benefit to the people they are supposed to serve.
