". ( Explanation of vote concerning the proposal on population and housing censuses. Today the European Parliament decided at first reading on the Commission proposal for a new regulation on population and housing censuses. Good intentions lie behind the proposal, with a view to making it easier to compare population and housing census statistics. However, the final result is extremely far-reaching in terms of the information that is required. In its proposal the Commission stated that each Member State should collect information on its citizens, such as sexual orientation, dates of women’s first marriage and current marriage, ethnicity, religion and number of children born alive. It is very startling that our Commission is presenting a proposal that includes such intrusive questions and which in practice amounts to registration of citizens. Today Parliament weeded out some of the most far-reaching questions. However, I chose to vote against the proposal in its entirety as it still goes too far."@en1
