The meeting began with a welcoming speech by Mr TARASYUK, Chairman of thePermanent Delegation of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to the Euronest PA and Co-Chair ofthe Euronest PA Committee on Political Affairs, Human Rights and Democracy.

POL Co-Chairs Mr TARASYUK and Mr BONI congratulated the Azerbaijani delegationon resuming cooperation in the Assembly and, in particular, on their participation in thepresent joint meeting of the Political and Social Committees. POL Co-Chair MrTARASYUK expressed the conviction that the new Azerbaijani delegation to the EuronestPA would fully play its role in advancing cooperation within the Eastern Partnership,enhancing its activity and making the Assembly more visible and efficient. He also stated thatthe Georgian Parliament delegation was unable to take part in the meeting due toparliamentary elections that had just been held in the country.

parliaments for their contribution to the development of the Euronest PA. She noted that theEuronest PA was an important platform for dialogue between Ukraine, the EU MemberStates and other Eastern Partnership countries. The Euronest PA, within the EasternPartnership, was a platform on which to discuss topical issues of importance to both the EUMember States and the Eastern European partners.

Referring to the agenda of the joint meeting of the Political and Social Committees, MsHERASHCHENKO emphasised the importance of considering specific issues such as thefreedom, independence and objectiveness of mass media, gender equality and the struggle torestore women’s and children’s rights in Donbas and Crimea.

On the latter issue, Ms HERASHCHENKO added that the actions of the Russian Federationin Donbas and Syria were causing the deaths of women and children: it was only the natureof the weapons used in Eastern Ukraine that differed from the warfare in Syria. Emphasisingthe fact that the occupied territory of Donbas remained closed to international organisations,Ms HERASHCHENKO deplored the cases of sexual and psychological violence againstchildren committed by combatants.

She also pointed to the following elements and statistics on Russian aggression in Ukraine:

there were currently more than 1.7 million internally displaced persons in Ukraine,including 900 000 women and more than 236 000 children;

in the last two years, 495 Ukrainian women and 68 children had perished, while 1 152children had been seriously injured in Donbas;

2 130 Ukrainian soldiers had perished since the beginning of the conflict; 238 women were currently in captivity; Russian weapons had been widely distributed in the territory of Crimea; the Russian Federation had launched a ‘second round’ of genocide against Crimean

Tatars by prohibiting the activities of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People and CrimeanTatar media;

the detention of 30 political prisoners had been reported; all Ukrainian schools and media offices in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea had been

closed.

Addressing possible ways of resolving the Ukrainian-Russian conflict through reaching apolitical compromise, developing guidelines and holding elections in the occupied territories,Ms HERASHCHENKO said that, in the context of the implementation of the Minskagreements, the Normandy format was extremely important for Ukraine. However, in openlyignoring it, Russia showed disrespect for that format and for the Minsk agreements.

As for holding elections in the occupied territories, Ms HERASHCHENKO noted that forthese to be possible not only would a permanent armistice be required, but a security planwould need to be fully implemented, Russian occupation troops withdrawn, border controlsrestored, hostages released and access to the occupied territories granted for Ukrainian media.

Referring to recent changes in international humanitarian law, Ms HAUTALA (EP) raisedthe issue of the increasing role of women in guaranteeing and restoring peace. MsHERASHCHENKO noted that due to the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, women hadbeen forced to accept significant human losses, but were also increasingly involved in formal

PV\1142432EN.doc 3/12 AP102.490v01-00

EN

and informal peace-making processes, or had become volunteers. The Ukrainian authoritiesstrongly promoted such activities, in particular by ratifying the Istanbul Convention,increasing the number of military positions open to women, and strengthening parliamentarycontrol over the country’s security forces.

Concluding on the issue of inter-parliamentary cooperation, Ms HERASHCHENKOunderlined the need to strengthen cooperation within the Euronest PA, as well as within otherplatforms such as the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, in which Ukrainewas trying to assert its independence and to seek respect for the life and health of itspopulation.

Members asked questions about the issue of internally displaced persons. In answer, MsHERASHCHENKO noted that the vast majority of those persons had been integrated intolocal communities, and it was difficult to distinguish them from local populations. Also,many internally displaced persons had had the opportunity to move their businesses from theoccupied territories, or to start all over again. At the same time, these people still neededassistance, and their rights still needed to be protected.

3. Approval of the minutes of the meetings of the Euronest Committee on PoliticalAffairs, Human Rights and Democracy and the Committee on Social Affairs,Education, Culture and Civil Society held on 21 March 2016 in Brussels

The minutes of the meetings of the Political and Social Committees held on 21 March 2016in Brussels were approved as tabled.

4. Election of the Eastern Component’s Co-Chair of the Committee on SocialAffairs, Education, Culture and Civil Society

Members elected by acclamation Ms Malahat IBRAHIMGIZI (Azerbaijani delegation) asCo-Chair of the Euronest PA Committee on Social Affairs, Education, Culture and CivilSociety (SOC).

5. Presentation by and exchange of views with Mr Thomas FRELLESEN, Chargéd’Affaires, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine on the preparationof the 2017 Eastern Partnership Summit

POL Co-Chair Mr BONI introduced the point on the preparation of the next EasternPartnership Summit, which was scheduled to take place during the Estonian presidency of theEU Council, in Brussels, in the second half of 2017. He reminded participants of the mainpriorities determined during the Riga Summit of 2015, including the strengthening ofinstitutions and good governance, mobility and people-to-people contacts, marketopportunities and interconnections in the energy and transport sectors. Since then, politicaland economic changes had occurred both in the EU and in the Eastern Partner countries, aswell as in the neighbouring countries. Referring to the conflicts in the Eastern Europeanpartner countries, the migration crisis in Europe, the ongoing war in Syria, the terrorismthreat, and strained relations with Russia, he emphasised that all those issues affected theforeign and domestic policies of the EU and Eastern European partners and constituted a verygood reason for strengthening security cooperation. At the same time, in order to stabilise

AP102.490v01-00 4/12 PV\1142432EN.doc

EN

society in the Eastern European partner countries, it was also necessary to address economicdevelopment.

Mr Thomas FRELLESEN, on the preparation of the Eastern Partnership Summit, firsthighlighted the result of the monitoring exercise on four main cooperation areas conducted inspring 2016, as established by the 2015 Riga Summit: the strengthening of institutions andthe provision of good governance, the use of market opportunities, the growth ofcommunication mobility and people-to-people contacts, and the strengthening of cooperationin the energy and transport areas were all priority sectors which would also support positiveeconomic dynamics and improve the business climate in the Eastern European partnercountries. The next monitoring analysis would take place on 14 November 2016. MrFRELLESEN emphasised the expansion of EU cooperation with the Eastern Europeanpartners, due to the emergence of new challenges such as the digital economy, climatechange, cybercrime and migration. He also noted that in order to find solutions to themigration crisis, multilateral cooperation was required.

Mr FRELLESEN underlined the contribution of the Euronest PA to the EasternPartnership’s development as, according to him, the Assembly was the only permanentplatform that brought together national MPs from the Eastern European partners with MEPs.He also noted that the work carried out by the Committees, including political and socialaspects to be discussed during the meeting, was particularly appropriate. The EuropeanExternal Action Service looked forward to the recommendations contained in theCommittees’ reports on freedom of media within the EU and the Eastern European partners,and on the situation of women in the labour market of the Eastern European partners.

POL Co-Chair Mr TARASYUK drew attention to the issue of the EU-Ukraine visa-freetravel regime. POL Co-Rapporteur Ms FAJON (EP) noted that the European Parliamenthad fully supported Ukraine and Georgia on visa liberalisation. However, EU internaldiscussions on a visa waiver suspension mechanism, which had been initiated as a result ofthe outbreak of the migration crisis, had delayed the process of granting a visa-free regime forshort-term stays by Ukrainian and Georgian citizens in the EU. Ms FAJON was of theopinion that the European Parliament should be given more weight in the EU decision-making process to trigger, prolong or revoke the visa waiver suspension mechanism.

During the discussion, Members proposed that a joint document be prepared on keycooperation issues under the Eastern Partnership on the eve of the 2017 Summit. Thedocument would include migration, as a political issue that was common both to EU MemberStates and the Eastern European partners.

In addition, they raised the issue of regional cooperation. In particular, they considered theBlack Sea region as part of the Eastern Partnership geographical area which can provideopportunities for practical cooperation in sectors such as tourism, trade, culture and transportinfrastructure.

6. Exchange of views on the situation of and prospects for media freedom,independence and integrity in the EU and Eastern European partners

POL Co-Chair Mr TARASYUK reminded the participants that the Political AffairsCommittee had chosen ‘media freedom, independence and integrity’ as the topic of its

ongoing report. He noted that media freedom was an essential element for well-functioningdemocracies.

- Introductory remarks by Ms Emine DZHAPAROVA, First Deputy Minister,Ukrainian Ministry of Information Policy

Ms DZHAPAROVA reported on her Ministry’s areas of work, and also focused ondifficulties observed with regard to the exercise of the freedom of speech and media in theoccupied territories of Donbas and in Crimea. The occupying forces were counteractingUkrainian media activities, threatening the lives of citizens who supported Ukraine, andharassing journalists who reported on the real situation in the occupied territories.

- Presentation by Political Affairs Committee Co-Rapporteur Ms Tanja FAJON,MEP, on the preparation of the report on ‘Ensuring media freedom andintegrity in the EU and Eastern European partners’

POL Co-Rapporteur Ms FAJON presented a working document in preparation of theCommittee’s report and reminded participants of current issues affecting mass media. Inparticular, she pointed to digital/online media, which nowadays can also constitute anextremely dangerous propaganda tool. Ms FAJON also noted that allowing oligarchs toconcentrate media ownership was a worrying trend. In general, the EU had expressed itsreadiness to Eastern European partners to hold a constructive dialogue to improve the mediasituation, and to establish appropriate monitoring of media activities.

Mr Igor ROZKLADAI, lead expert of the RPR media group, remarked that Soviet-stylebureaucracy still existed in Ukraine and that this was hampering the development of thecountry in every way. He also gave some recommendations for resolving delicate legislativeissues in Ukraine, particularly concerning the establishment of an independent public TV andradio broadcaster, the improvement of media financing, access to archives for the purposes ofresearch and dissemination of information, and improvement of the education system.

POL Co-Chair Mr BONI then summarised the discussion and concluded that the reportshould also address issues such as information warfare, propaganda and digital mediachannels (including geo-blocking1, portable content and access to it). Attention should also bepaid to conditions for respecting the principle of the impartiality of state-owned media.

7. Exchange of views on the protection of women’s rights, the promotion of genderbalance and women’s access to the labour market in the Eastern Europeanpartners

SOC Co-Chairs Mr PIRINSKI and Ms IBRAHIMGIZI introduced this item on theagenda. SOC Co-Chair Mr PIRINSKI emphasised that gender equality was one of thecommon European values and needed to be promoted.

1 Geo-blocking is a discriminatory practice based on online customers’ nationality, place of residence or placeof establishment that prevents them from accessing and purchasing products or services from a website based inanother state.

- Introductory remarks by Ms Nataliya FEDOROVYCH, Deputy Minister,Ukrainian Ministry of Social Policy

Ms FEDOROVYCH focused on the issue of gender equality. She noted that the eliminationof all forms of discrimination and respect for gender equality were guaranteed by Ukrainianlegislation, and constituted an important part of Ukraine’s European integration course. Shealso pointed out that, according to the Ukrainian ‘Law on Ensuring Equal Rights andOpportunities for Women and Men’, a number of strategic documents had been adopted (inparticular, the national strategy in the field of human rights, which had been approved by theGovernment of Ukraine at the end of 2015, and the National Action Plan on Implementationof United Nations Security Council Resolution 13/25, approved in February 2016). Thosedocuments defined gender equality as a fundamental value. Ukraine had also approved apublic administration model in which gender equality was defined as a fundamental part ofthe public administration strategy.

Ms FEDOROVYCH emphasised that the objective of increasing the number of femalerepresentatives among the country’s public authorities was an ongoing one. Therefore, the2014 amendment to the ‘Law on Political Parties’ and the adoption of the ‘Law on LocalElections’ were intended to help resolve the problem of women’s under-representation inpublic and political life. Under the Ukrainian regulations in force, a 30 % quota for womenhad been introduced, but implementation of those provisions was a problem. MsFEDOROVYCH expressed the opinion that one of the key reasons was the lack of politicalresponsibility for complying with those regulations. On the other hand, a certainimprovement had been registered as regards posts filled by women in executive powerbodies. The gender ratio among senior civil servants in the first and second categories ofposts had increased from 28 % to 31 % since 2013.

Ms FEDOROVYCH expressed her faith in the ongoing positive trend. However, she notedthat enrooted gender stereotypes regarding the social roles of women and men constitutedobstacles to the expansion of women’s political and economic rights and opportunities. In thisregard, the Ukrainian Government, together with the OSCE Project Coordinator in Ukraine,had developed and approved a training course and published a handbook for mediarepresentatives on gender equality and non-discrimination. On 18 October 2016, on theoccasion of the EU Anti-Trafficking Day, a broad information campaign using digitalbillboards, light boxes and special information videos had been organised together with localauthorities (which was important for the process of decentralisation in Ukraine).

Ms FEDOROVYCH also drew attention to the fact that, since mid-October 2016, theUkrainian information policy strategy had targeted gender equality issues, such as ensuringequal rights and opportunities, resistance to domestic violence and fighting against humantrafficking. The experience of other countries in removing gender stereotypes (e.g. the role ofwomen in performing household chores) was very important to Ukraine. She noted that thesituation in the Ukrainian labour market remained strained and was characterised by a fall inemployment and rising unemployment. The following statistics were provided (for the firsthalf of 2016):

- The employed population aged 15 to 70 was 16.2 million people, while the employment ratewas 56.2 % (for comparison, in the first half of 2015, the number of employed people was16.4 million, and the employment rate was 56.5 %);- The number of people who were on leave without pay was 121 800;

PV\1142432EN.doc 7/12 AP102.490v01-00

EN

- The number of employees transferred to a part-time schedule for economic reasons was430 000 people or 5.5 % of the average number of full-time employees;- Employees with working time reduced to 2/3 were mostly industry workers, and over 12 %of transport and warehouse workers;- The number of unemployed people was 1.7 million, and the unemployment rate, accordingto ILO methodology, was 9.4 % of the economically active population;- The number of employed women aged 15 to 70 was 8.5 million, and the employment rateamong women was 51.5 % of the economically active population;- In terms of employed population by employment status, 86.6 % of women were wageworkers, and 12.3 % were self-employed;- The number of unemployed women was 635 000. According to ILO methodology, theunemployment rate among women was 7.5 %, compared to 8 % in the first half of 2015.

It was noted that in order to improve the situation in the labour market, the government wasworking with employers to create more opportunities for workers with family responsibilities,in order to successfully combine career and family. Moreover, women accounted for 26 % ofsmall business managers, 15 % of managers of medium-sized enterprises, and 12 % ofmanagers of large enterprises.

Competitions had been organised in order to encourage employers to implement corporatepolicies supporting parents who return to work after parental leave. Two such examples were‘The best employer for promoting reintegration of parents into the labour market’, and ‘Thebest reportage on a return to work after parental leave’ (among journalists only). In addition,employers were expanding the network of nurseries in their organisations so as to ensurefavourable conditions for workers with small children.

- Introductory remarks by Ms Oksana YURYNETS, MP, on behalf of the ‘GenderCaucus’ of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

Ms YURYNETS outlined the main problems associated with the representation of women inparliament, in particular the electorate’s stereotypical approach during elections. She notedthat ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men in the electoral process waspossible through the introduction of gender quotas. The question of maternity leave was alsodiscussed. It was mentioned that the longest period of parental leave in Ukraine was up tothree years with the possibility of extension up to six years. Parental leave was also now oftengiven to men, which had never been the case in the past in Ukraine.

According to Ms YURYNETS, the number of women in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukrainehad increased sixfold since independence: from 2 % in 1991 to 12 % now. However, thesefigures were still below the average in European countries of around 23 %. Ms YURYNETSadded that 7 out of the 28 Verkhovna Rada Committees were currently headed by women.

- Presentation by Social Affairs Committee Co-Rapporteurs Ms Maria GRAPINI,MEP, and Ms Natalia VESELOVA, MP, Ukraine on the preparation of theCommittee’s report on ‘The situation of women in the labour market in theEastern European partners’

SOC Co-Rapporteur Ms GRAPINI noted that the Eastern Partnership clearly definesgender equality as a fundamental value. She added, however, that as the implementation ofwomen’s rights and gender equality required further political impetus, all Eastern European

AP102.490v01-00 8/12 PV\1142432EN.doc

EN

partners had developed programmes or strategies to improve the status of women in theircountries. According to Ms GRAPINI, promoting gender equality strategies, providingexpertise for the legislative process, and supporting the full engagement of women in thelabour market would be big steps forward. She also underlined the need to ensure the propermonitoring of these processes.

While agreeing that all the issues mentioned were important both for the Eastern Europeanpartners and the EU Member States, SOC Co-Rapporteur Ms VESELOVA noted thatArticles 2 and 3 of the EU Treaty define gender equality as one of the main foundingprinciples of the EU. Although the situation in the labour market of the various EasternEuropean partners was not the same everywhere, there were some general tendencies. Shesuggested that special attention be paid to promoting the participation of women in politics inorder to increase their role in the decision-making processes. Ms VESELOVA added that thecurrent legislation in Ukraine contained some tools to encourage political parties to promotewomen’s participation in political life, for example by linking the allocation of state budgetfinancing to political parties to their performance in monitoring gender-related norms.

Ms KHODAKOVA, a representative of the ‘Open Society’ NGO, made reference to the‘Global Fund’ data in noting that women in politics had the weakest position in Ukraine.Greater participation by women in politics should be a priority, and use of the media in thisrespect was extremely important. Ms KHODAKOVA underlined that the establishment ofthe inter-faction associations, both within the parliament and at local level, played asignificant role in supporting female politicians and candidates, and in combating negativeforces such as stereotypes, corruption, and women’s doubts about their leadership abilities.

SOC Co-Rapporteur Ms GRAPINI proposed the creation of a joint programme in eachcountry to change the mentality. She also emphasised the need to appoint more women tosenior government and political positions. POL Co-Chair Mr TARASYUK noted that therewere already examples of female politicians in the history of Ukrainian government such asPrime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Minister of Education and Science Liliya Hrynevych,Deputy Prime Minister on European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, Acting Minister of Health Care Ulana Suprun, and also the Deputy Chairwomenof the Verkhovna Rada Irina Herashchenko and Oksana Syroyid. While emphasising thatwomen were already represented in senior public positions in Ukraine, Mr TARASYUKspoke about the need to increase the number of women present in politics overall.

8. Planning and preparation of the Political Affairs and Social Affairs Committees’activities for 2017

SOC Co-Chair Mr PIRINSKI informed participants about the scheduling of the next twojoint Committee meetings, which would be held in the spring of 2017, and ahead of the sixthplenary session of the Euronest PA in the second half of 2017.
