Explanation:

1.The Assembly refers to its Recommendation 1296 (1996) on a European Charter for Rural Areas and to Recommendation 1269 (1995) on achieving real progress in women's rights as from 1995, as well as to the World Summit on Social Development (Copenhagen, 9-13 March 1995) and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted by the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, 4-15 September 1995).

2.Society in general, and even rural women themselves, have greatly undervalued and often completely ignored the role of women in maintaining and consolidating the living countryside with its rich and diversified heritage and traditions.

The Parliamentary Assembly and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe should be associated with this work;

calls on member governments, governments of countries having special guest or observer delegations with the Assembly, the European Union, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the United Nations to:
