lpv:translated text	"The report by Mrs Gröner and Mrs Smet gives me the opportunity to look again at a questionable action platform. As well as containing a Malthusian ideology, the Beijing Action Platform uses means of implementation which we condemn. The UN already intends to rule the world by imposing a uniform vision, based on the western model, on all the regions of the planet, regardless of their existing cultures and laws. In addition, in order to bypass the rules arising from its intergovernmental nature which subjects it to approval by its Member States, the UN is using the NGOs which it finances in order to implement its programmes everywhere and with much fewer constraints. Where countries are reluctant, it is using blackmail based on financial aid to obtain the application, for example, of birth control measures. Although it is vital for the specific role of women to be recognised in all societies, this must occur with full respect for the local traditions and regulations which are commonly accepted and which do not in any way prevent the dignity of women from being respected. Such an approach ensures that the people concerned have a better understanding of these broad international texts. We have also discussed and voted on Mrs Sörensen’s report which deals with trafficking in women. These two debates should make us stop and think about the real scope and aim of these major international platforms. While they have succeeded in their aim of weakening still further the demography of western countries, they have not responded in a logical way to the more urgent question of protecting those women who are really in difficulty. Once again, it is the ideology and egoism of some which have prevailed over concern for the common good. The culture of death has taken priority over the defence of life."@en1
