". Τhe motion on fundamental rights in the European Union is, generally speaking, a good motion. However, there are several problem paragraphs, such as paragraph 78 on the ban on women entering Mount Athos. I do not think it is against this criterion that women’s rights will be measured; they will be measured in terms of employment, equal pay, domestic violence and the fight against trafficking in human beings. We can hardly talk about freedom of movement on this tiny strip of land which has its own sense of time and observes customs and traditions which date back thousands of years. Soon we will be calling for freedom of establishment and freedom of business activity and the monasteries will be overrun with Coca-Cola stands. In an increasingly plastic and homogenised world, we should respect the cultural wealth which comes down from the past, without affecting modern society, and leave Mount Athos to travel through time at its own pace. It is because of paragraph 78 that I am forced to vote against the report as a whole."@en1
