".
In Parliament we have the bad habit of producing own-initiative reports on trivial matters, and on matters that should really be dealt with by subsidiarity. In other words, the EU should avoid meddling in matters that come under the sovereignty of the Member States and that are better settled at national level.
In the state it was voted for by a majority of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, the report is unacceptable.
I should point out that of course we are concerned about the gender stereotypes conveyed by some advertising.
Of course we are against the advertising of sexual services, which reinforce stereotypes of women as objects.
Of course we want to protect children against adverts that incite violence and sexism, among other things.
Of course we are aware of the importance of codes of ethics and codes of conduct, but it is not up to the Commission to impose these on the Member States.
Advertising should respect the values dear to us, but it must be able to exist and to play its role in a market economy without being accused of all evils, which is the tenor of this report."@en1
