lpv:translated text	"I have voted against items 19-21, in which the European Parliament ‘[r]ecommends urgently that details of breast implant operations should be recorded in the EU by compulsory National Breast Implant Registration in each Member State’. On a previous occasion, in 2001, I expressed the serious doubts I had about the sense and point of building up national and European registers of people who had requested and obtained breast implants. Public health is a national area, involving national legislative competence. Better than having registers to sanction breast implants as a natural medical activity would be to follow the recommendation made to the Member States in item 19 and, as France has done, prohibit direct advertisements for breast implants. It is essential to foster the values of self-esteem and tolerance as alternatives to breast implants, something that is done in items 15 and 16. I also welcome, as proposed, positive campaigns in the Member States ‘promoting and securing acceptance of the image of women as they actually are by running positive information campaigns, rather than allowing unregulated advertising practices to impose an ideal conception of beauty as the norm’. It could not have been put any better."@en1
