lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, I would like first of all to thank Mrs Svensson, who has taken the initiative to launch this report. I have but one word to say on the matter: ‘vigilance’. In fact, the scope and pertinence of the rapporteur’s remarks highlight forms of discrimination that seem to belong to a different era. It is unacceptable that, today, the simple fact of being a woman means that there is a greater risk of not being born, and then, of being less well cared for than a man. Health is our most precious asset and this asset in currently in danger. For a number of years, an increasingly clear link has been established between women’s physical and mental health and their economic situation. Poor women have more physical and psychological health problems than other women. They have a shorter life expectancy, they experience premature aging and they take more medication. One out of every two teenage girls from an underprivileged background shows a high level of psychological distress. More than half the number of single-parent mothers live in poverty; they take more medication than other mothers and their level of psychological distress is particularly high. Women who are less educated or who are unemployed or poor are, in fact, the most affected by psychological distress and physical health problems. Female poverty, single parenthood and social isolation therefore create an explosive cocktail that endangers women’s health, a state of affairs that is quite simply intolerable. This report is an extremely useful reminder, which comes at just the right time. There are no individual explanations and solutions: we must therefore find joint explanations and solutions. That is our political task."@en1
