I voted for the report on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Institute for Gender Equality. However, I also voted against a merger of the institute and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights because I believe that European leadership in order to develop equality requires the work of the institute to be strengthened so that it can continue to drive forward cross-cutting measures in all areas, both in Europe and internationally.
