With regard to the EP Secretariat, Parliament called for the implementation of a coherent and comprehensive framework for gender mainstreaming, in close cooperation with the DG for Personnel and COPEC, and with the involvement of staff representations. This policy plan should co-ordinate all existing initiatives, indicate objective and priorities and the means of achieving them. It should be complemented by data and gender statistics, indicators, clear targets and benchmarks.�
