"Mr President, I shall take a few seconds to complain once again about these debates always being held at night. We have often met to talk about women in the middle of the night, and with you in the chair I believe. We always talk about women in the middle of the night, and one day we could do so in daylight, Mr President.
The inequality and discrimination suffered by women is structural and sustained. We women have always been carers rather than cared-for. There is therefore still a very significant imbalance between the level and quality of care for men and care for women. We do, however, have certain common values in Europe, such as fairness, universality and solidarity. Accordingly, we must also apply the gender perspective in the area of health, as the Commissioner has quite rightly said today.
I welcomed the initiative taken by the Social Democratic Ministers of the European Union who met in Sweden at the end of August, discussed the reduction of gender inequalities in health care and expressed their concern about the situation.
There are certain issues the report should have dealt with in more depth, and which relate in particular to sexual and reproductive health, as many speakers have already said. It has also already been pointed out that violence is a health problem. There is another important issue worthy of mention: the difficulties faced by immigrant women in accessing health systems, because they are afraid.
I hope we will meet again in daylight."@en1
