"I thank the President-in-Office for her answer. It took a great deal of time to establish how Parliament's position would be presented at the UN Special Session. A general meeting was held where candidate countries and, indeed, the Commissioner were present. He made the very concrete statement that the child cannot be dealt with in isolation but in the context of the family and community. We took a general vote and there was an overwhelming desire to make a special reference to the child in the context of the family. We then debated a proposed position for Parliament, which was voted on in this Chamber.
It is our responsibility therefore to ensure that the wishes, not just of Parliament but also of the candidate countries who had travelled here and of the Member State representatives who came, concerning the position on the family are accurately presented, otherwise our time has been wasted. As the UN definition of reproductive health services is so much in conflict with our position as stated in the Treaties – in particular with the protocol of my country – does the Council intend to challenge this publicly stated definition or to change the definition of reproductive health services within the institutions of the EU?"@en1
