lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is extremely important that the European Parliament discusses and votes in favour of the report on women and fundamentalism. This is a political issue of the utmost topicality, which must be addressed carefully but quite firmly. It is our view that, in the European Union, equal rights for women and men, the right of all of us not to suffer public and domestic violence and to undertake the tasks that are within our ability, which we wish to undertake and which benefit us, is one of the greatest privileges we enjoy. We wish to share these privileges with all the women in the world. The violence we see throughout the world, particularly the situation of Afghan women under the Taliban regime, also exists, unfortunately, in other countries in which the dignity and will of women are trampled on for religious or ideological reasons. We must condemn and fight effectively against the various forms of fundamentalism that exist in the world and which allow such situations to exist. No one will be able to understand why the European Parliament is not adopting a strong position on this matter. Many compromise amendments have now been tabled. We must make an effort to reach agreement and we need to keep an open and tolerant mind on this matter. We cannot adopt a fundamentalist approach to this issue of intransigence toward the enormously serious situations taking place across the world and, in some cases, for example concerning the decision on reproductive rights, even within the European Union. The aim of this report is to secure a vote against all forms of fundamentalism. If the European Parliament does not approve the report, it would, from a political point of view, be extremely serious; it would send the message to the world that the European Parliament cannot agree on how to fight the various forms of fundamentalism that currently exist."@en1
