In the July issue of The Parity Democrat, I listed some 20 military leaders, in a new, ninth, category in my Heads of State & other Women Leaders throughout the World, a number which has since grown to 38 admirals and generals. I have now introduced a tenth category, that of Women Business Leaders, as listed below. The US names are from the Fortune 500 and 1000 Lists of 2004, cited on the website , with the ranking given after the corporation. Also, in the US, as distinct from other countries, most Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) are also Board Chairs or Presidents. Many other names may be found by typing Businesswoman of the Year into . One of the best such awards, now going for thirty years and in several countries, and from which I have taken some of my names, is found at veuve-

DEMOCRACY & WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT in EUROPE

European Council Brussels 17-18 June 2004 EU Council Paper 25 @ Raymond Lloyd

At the European Council in Nice on 7 December 2000, I put to the then French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine and the UK Prime Minister Tony Blair the following question: The next European elections will take place on or around Sunday 6 June 2004, the 60th anniversary of D-Day, when Polish and Czech troops helped liberate France and Europe: do you expect that citizens from at least those two countries of Central Europe will be able to take part in the next elections to the European Parliament?

Happily, citizens from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia were among the ten new countries which took part in the European elections held from 10 to 13 June 2004: along with the citizens of Malta, the George Cross island; Cyprus whose previous president Glafkos Clerides was shot down by the nazis; Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, whose independence was violated first by the soviet communists, then by the nazis, and then again by the soviets; Slovenia, which had been occupied by Germany and Italy in April 1941; and Hungary which was the first country to revolt against communism, in 1956, and on behalf of whose citizens taking refuge in Austria I flew to Vienna to volunteer for the International Red Cross relief operation.

From 5 to 7 June 2004 I visited Normandy to witness four ceremonies commemorating the 60th anniversary of D-Day. The first was on 5 June in a British landing-craft, to see an old Lancaster bomber drop 10 000 and more poppies over the British veterans sailing in the Van Gogh. The second was at the Colville cemetery behind Omaha Beach, the fiercest battle of 6 June 1944, where President George W Bush delivered a moving tribute to the soldiers who had lost their lives ten years before he was born. The third was the Franco-German reconciliation ceremony at the Caen Memorial where Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder enhanced the lustration efforts which have made Germany one of the strongest of modern democracies. And the fourth was the unveiling by King Harald V of a Norwegian seaman's statue at Hermanville beach.

In August 2002 I had visited Narvik to pay my respects at the graves of the British, Norwegian, French and Polish servicemen who, in May 1940, had won the war's first victory over the nazis; and in September I had gone to Alesund to visit the memorial to the 3000 civilians who had rowed resistance workers across the North Sea to Scotland between 1940 and 1942. While in Normandy I was pleased to learn that there had been a ceremony for the 800 Danish seamen who had volunteered to put the Americans ashore at Utah Beach. But I was sorry that there has not yet been any recognition of the 50 000 servicemen and women from the Republic of Ireland who volunteered to help free Europe from totalitarianism.

In Normandy, on ferries crossing the Channel, and coaches to London, I spoke with several veterans who had fought to ensure that other children in Europe would not have to undergo bombing, such as I endured in Bristol from 1940 to 1942. At the time of writing, the most recent veterans I have greeted are Oscar and Grace Thomas from San Diego, at Victoria coach station on 10 June, struggling with the telephone and a month's worth of luggage.

Oscar had come ashore at Omaha Beach with the third wave of the 1st Division at 11.30 on 6 June 1944, and Grace had served with the Marines in the Pacific. I tried to get them on the bus to Victoria rail station where they could more easily buy a ticket for their whole journey, but the No 11 bus driver at 19.45 turned us off. I then addressed the bus passengers, telling them what a disappointment it was that none had sided with these 80-year-old veterans. In the confusion Oscar left one bag behind, and we went to the bus station to report it. As we were phoning, a young woman named Alexa came into the office with the bag: she had changed buses to bring it back. I then took Oscar and Grace by Underground to Baker Street, where they caught the train to a friend in Watford.

The 60th anniversaries will continue for another year, and overleaf I list other questions I have asked to make the most of forthcoming ceremonies (A). I also attach the first page of the June issue of The Parity Democrat, where I list some such anniversaries (B), and the July issue where I name 20 women admirals and generals now serving in the defence of democracy (C). Finally, in tribute to our EU hosts in the past six months, I list the 60 Irish women whose names I have circularized over the past twenty years as capable of heading international bodies with distinction (D).

QUESTIONS on WORLD WAR II-60 COMMEMORATIONS

asked at Head-of-Government & Other Meetings 14 June 2004 @ Raymond Lloyd

Date Place Occasion Person Addressed, Office & Country *PD

7. 6.04 Caen France D-Day 60 Normandy Jacques Chirac President France PD

In congratulating you on the excellent arrangements made for D-Day 60, not least on your eloquent addresses

I personally listened to at the Franco-American commemoration at Colville, and the Franco-German commemoration at Caen, may I express disappointment that a country, as enlightened as France to appoint an able woman as Minister of Defence, could not find, among the 14 veterans to whom you presented the Legion d'Honneur at Arromanches, one or more women veterans from, say, among the American and British army nurses who had landed in Normandy by 10 June, or the Resistance or SOE counterparts to Lucille Aubrac (a personal friend) and Violette Szabo, who interrupted enemy communications in Normandy from 5 June onward; but that you will make this good at any similarly generous ceremony held on 25August for the 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris, even if in 1944 the vote-less women had to accept the role of auxiliaries, rather than shine with the military saintliness of Jeanne d'Arc?

In June 2003 you invited to the G8 summit in Evian the leaders of Algeria, Brazil, China, India, Senegal and South Africa, all of whose countries took part in the liberation of Europe and the world from nazi and militarist dictatorships: Algeria and Senegal whose graves I have visited in France; Brazil, India and South Africa whose graves I have visited in Italy; and China whose forces kept militarism at bay for as long as fifteen years: while none of these was present among the fifteen countries invited today in Caen, do you plan to express to them Europe's gratitude on the occasion of the 60th anniversary on 25 August 2004 of the liberation of Paris?

7. 6.04 Caen France D-Day 60 Normandy Gerhard Schroeder Federal Chancellor Germany PD

May I first thank you for the moving address you gave at the Franco-German ceremony in the Caen Memorial on 6June, first for the reconciliation address itself and then for the way you personally greeted so many of the citizens who had waited an hour in the sun; and may I ask, just as your address was followed by Beethoven's Ode to Joy, that, in this bicentennial year of Immanuel Kant, you draw again the attention of us Europeans to the Treaty of Perpetual Peace and other writings of perhaps the greatest philosopher of the European Enlightenment? And may I ask this as one of the first British schoolchildren to visit Germany after the war, in the Bristol-Hannover exchange of 1950 and who, at least since studying philosophy in Oxford four years later, has tried to put into practice Kant's moral imperative: always to consider other persons as ends in themselves, never as a means to my own ends?

3. 4.04 Punchestown EU Finance Ministers Col Armstrong Conductor Irish Army Brass & Pipe Bands PD

2004 marks the centenary of the bandleader Glenn Miller, born on 1 March 1904 in Clarinda Iowa, and died flying for the freedom of Europe in 1944: how are your bands planning to celebrate this centenary?

26. 3.04 Brussels European Council (2) Gerhard Schroeder Federal Chancellor Germany PD

On 15 November 2002 I asked Britain's Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs whether, as a further act of European reconciliation, Germany would be invited to the 60th anniversary of the Normandy landings in June 2004: now that this has been agreed, may I renew the question put to you on 28 June 2003, and to other German leaders, whether you will invite to Germany in 2005, and in subsequent years until the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Federal Republic, those 80-year-old French, British, US and other servicemen and women, and civilian administrators, who liberated Germany from nazism and helped you build what has since become an exemplary liberal democracy?

And similarly, now that President Yeltsin has apologized for Stalin's March 1940 order to murder some 20 000 Polish officers in Katyn, and for reducing to slavery in Siberia some 600 000 Japanese prisoners of war, will you offer the opportunity for lustration to the present Russian government for the rape of some 2 000 000 German women and girls in 1945, a number gathered from Soviet archives by Anthony Beevor in his 2002 book on the Fall of Berlin, but a number which in any case constitutes the greatest crime against women in world history?

19. 1.04 London OndAzul launch Gilberto Gil Singer & Minister of Culture Brazil PD

This year is the 60th anniversary of Brazil sending 20 000 soldiers to Italy to fight for the freedom of Europe, the only Latin American country to do so: now that the surviving veterans are 80 years old, do you plan to dedicate a song, or concert, to their courage and sacrifice?
