lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too would like to congratulate Mrs Carlshamre on the report which she has drafted with passion, ensuring that one problem of civilised human society remains topical. It is clear from the methodical report drafted by the relevant directorate of the European Commission and published in December 2005 and from research by the Council of Europe that violence against women is the main cause of death of women between the ages of 16 and 44. Even though, as the Commissioner said, there is no global definition of violence against women, this phenomenon crosses borders and is not prevented by social position. Any woman may fall victim to violence and any form of violence constitutes an infringement of human rights and infringement of the rights to life, safety, dignity and physical and mental integrity. It is an obstacle to the development of a democratic society. It isolates woman from social life and the labour market. It may result in marginalisation and poverty. This social problem must be wiped out in view of efforts to integrate more women into the labour market. Psychological violence – humiliation, threats and insults – is one form of violence which destabilises a woman's personality and upsets her behaviour, to the point at which she is unable to contribute to her environment. However, in order for there to be results, violence must be expressed and that is why confidence in the authorities, in the departments responsible, in the courts, needs to be increased. The measures to be taken must be coordinated and I congratulate you, Commissioner, for having shown that you are prepared to take these measures by finding the appropriate legal bases and keeping the programme to combat violence separate from other issues."@en1
