"Madam President, I would like to comment on the Bozkurt report on the position of women in Turkey. We eleven New Democracy MEPs supported the report, which our various and numerous amendments helped to shape.
We set great store by this report for various reasons:
Firstly, it emphasises that women's rights are an integral part of human rights, of the
which the candidate countries have an obligation to adopt and apply. Secondly, it sets the framework for our continuing negotiations with Turkey. It is even emphasised in this report that the report drafted by the European Commission, which will form the framework for negotiations between the European Commission and Turkey, must also include the situation of women and Turkey's obligations with regard to this part of the
.
Our reservation concerns the criminal code, which is why we voted against paragraph 4. We welcome the application of the said criminal code, but we note that this has been a satisfactory point so far and we need to encourage steps in this direction.
However, it is not enough for the Turkish criminal code to be applied; it must also be reformed, because it does not refer to honour killings."@en1
