lpv:translated text	"Allow me first and foremost to express my thanks to the rapporteur, Mrs Maria Carlshamre, and to all colleagues who helped develop this report. Violence is an abuse of superiority by one party, but it has to be said that the failure to prevent violence is also a form of violence. Our basic attitude must be characterised by zero tolerance towards all forms of violence against women. Any solution will depend especially on teaching respect for other people and on intensive cooperation between governments, parliaments and non-governmental organisations. These bodies should jointly develop procedures for fighting this phenomenon. Statistics are necessary, but our success primarily depends on effective preventive measures, all the more so since every instance of violence in families affects children as well, and is passed on to future generations. Communities and ethnic minorities with different cultures, and their own specific forms of violence, must also be the focus of our attention. Every state of the European Union must enact comprehensive and effective legislation in respect of domestic violence, which will criminalise certain forms of violence. Neither customary practices nor alcohol should be considered as mitigating factors. We must clearly demonstrate that violence is simply unacceptable in society. Mr President, I firmly believe that domestic violence casts shame on the democratic and highly-developed society we live in, as it constitutes violence committed against human dignity. The prevention of violence against women must be a mission for all of us."@en1
