Equality between women and men is a fundamental value of the EU and is vital for economic and social growth, prosperity and competitiveness. Proper utilisation of the potential of women and men, their different experiences and needs, and balanced engagement in the process of shaping the future development of the European Union could and should impact on the political debate and the way we deal with current economic and social challenges. I am proud to say that in 2012, during its second year of full operation, the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) delivered its first added-value products supporting EU-27 policymakers in achieving the EU's objectives, including the goals set by the European Commission in the Europe 2020 growth strategy. EIGE produced relevant, comparable and reliable data, expertise and recommendations on gender equality in the EU in a number of policy areas. -- EU Bookshop.

The European Commission want to set up a European Institute for Gender Equality to collect and analyse data, carry out research and promote exchanges of information and good practice about gender issues in the EU. The European Union Committee expresses the view that a separate body of this kind is not needed, and that more consideration should be given to the case for incorporating gender equality work in the proposed European Fundamental Rights Agency. The Committee also states that the establishment of such a body requires a good management structure along with adequate funding. The Committee further states that the Government should take a clear and consistent line on the correct legal base for this and similar proposals.
