"(
) Today we have adopted a position on the own-initiative report on combating female genital mutilation. We have chosen not to support the alternative resolution tabled by our group, among others, here in Parliament, which ultimately also won the majority vote. The reason for our decision was that we believe that the original report was better. The alternative resolution contained text concerning a requirement for regular check-ups by doctors for women who have been granted asylum because of the threat of female genital mutilation. The purpose of this wording is to prevent female genital mutilation from occurring within the EU. However, we believe that this measure is an invasion of privacy and goes much too far, and it will burden already vulnerable young women in a way that is unacceptable. Visiting the doctor should be something that is done voluntarily. We have therefore chosen not to support the alternative resolution."@en1
