"The own-initiative report on gender discrimination in health systems addresses many very important issues affecting women’s health, especially the fact that it is male physiognomy that is the point of departure in modern medicine, in spite of the fact that there clearly are significant biological differences between the sexes. That is an unsatisfactory state of affairs to which my party, the Liberal People’s Party, has called attention on several occasions. Despite the report’s good intentions in terms of promoting women’s health within the EU, I am voting against the report. I choose to do so because I believe that, in too many respects, the report contravenes the principle of subsidiarity. A good many of the proposals presented infringe the sovereignty of the Member States and also encroach on the right of individuals to take their own decisions affecting their own lives. It is not for the European Parliament to decide whether women should be entitled to Caesarean sections or whether nursing staff should have shorter working periods and higher salaries. At the same time, the report is characterised in other areas by its unduly broad-brush approach to wordings. I am thinking here mainly of the sections on ovarian stimulation and on removing egg cells."@en1
