lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, all EU countries need to have in place legislation which criminalises the practice of female genital mutilation. Measures also need to be put in place to address the needs of women and girls from new migrant communities who are at risk of FGM. I welcome Ireland's recent commitment as one of the 15 EU Member States to launch a national action plan on FGM. It is estimated that more than 2500 women living in Ireland have undergone FGM in other countries. The Irish plan highlights the risks FGM poses to women and girls and sets out policy goals to address its detrimental effects. Figures also reveal that, out of 9624 women now residing in Ireland who originally came from countries that practice FGM, 26.9% have undergone a form of female genital mutilation. The enactment of a law to place an outright ban on FGM is critical to the elimination of this."@en1
