Speaker 1
Okay, colleagues, please take your seats, because now we will continue our joint meeting with, sorry, two committees, on Development and on Women's Rights and Gender Equality.  So, I want to welcome members of the both committees and the great Chair of FEMM committee, Lina Gálvez Muñoz.  So, welcome, Lina.  Thank you very much for co-organizing this meeting.  And it's a last item of our committee agenda today, and it's the consideration of amendments to the draft own-initiative report: EU Gender Action Plan IV, priorities for gender equality and women's rights in external action. 

Some of our colleagues were very hungry for discussion.  They were even intervening during our previous meeting.  Yeah.  We wait for German interpretation.  As this is a joint 

Hi, Maria, good to see you.  It's okay.  I know you wanted to already discuss this topic.  So, as this is a joint report prepared by co-rapporteurs Abir Al-Sahlani on behalf of DEVE and Paulo do Nascimento Cabral on behalf of FEMM, we warmly welcome colleagues from the FEMM committee who join our meeting.  The draft report was presented by the co-rapporteurs on 10th of September. 

545 amendments were received, reflecting the variety of views on this sensitive topic.  I'm looking forward to hearing the views from co-rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs before I will give the floor to my co-chair today from FEMM, Lina Gálvez Muñoz, who will also welcome us in the name of FEMM Committee.  Lina?
