lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the mere fact that we are talking about violence against women in 2006 shows that we are in decline. Two and a half thousand years ago, in the Republic of Athens, in the time of Socrates, there was no crime, there was no violence against women. It was considered unacceptable while, two and a half thousand years later, we have this violence, this unchecked violence, against women. We must therefore take measures. I do not know if the Daphne programme suffices or if something more is required. Penalties must suddenly get stricter. Penalties against someone who rapes a woman are not strict. Today, in 2006, we have more prostitution of women than we did 50 years ago, after the war. Today, of all the women who come to our country, to Greece – which is not a rich country – from the former east bloc countries, half are extradited. This is a crime. In order for us to fight violence against women, therefore, we need first of all to fight the poverty that leads to violence. We need to fight drugs effectively. My country has more heroin-related deaths than anywhere else and it is the poorest country in the eurozone. We must therefore look effectively at prevention and at effective penalties for the guilty."@en1
