lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I, too, would like to congratulate the Commissioner on this final effort – yes, I who have often challenged him in other forums – and to simply thank everyone for this very rich debate, in which many Members have spoken. I have listened carefully to all of them, and it is true that a number of men have spoken, which I am pleased about. At any rate, the proportion of men was higher than in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, since, of the 61 members, there are only four of us men, which is far too few. I do, of course, agree with those who have said that this is a fight in which men, too, must participate. I cannot respond to everyone, but Mrs Lulling said that the margin of the vote in committee was not a comfortable one. Well, there were 15 ‘yeses’ to five ‘noes’, three times more ‘yeses’ than ‘noes’, and seven abstentions. I know that we have spent a great deal of time on chapter 38, which is devoted to reproductive health, to sexual rights and, in particular, to contraception and abortion. I know that this issue is perhaps more sensitive than the others, and I did not want my report to become a ragbag, but I could not overlook that issue. I make reference in particular to young girls, who end up suffering if they accidentally become pregnant because they did not have all of the information they needed. What bothers me most is the frequent hypocrisy of some who wish to ignore these situations and poke fun at the problems of these young girls and yet, when it happens to one of their children, they have the resources to pay for them to have ‘revitalisation’ therapy, in Switzerland or elsewhere, without it attracting much attention. As for the pay gap, Mrs Bauer put it well. We are talking about a figure of 25% when we add up the effects of part-time hours, which are limited. It is, of course, difficult to be precise. This is not – and I will finish here because I have only a few seconds left – a ragbag report, even though mention is made of genital mutilation, the burkha and forced marriages. Rest assured that I believe that, in a democracy, these practices are not cultural; rather, they are practices that we must combat by means of democracy. The fact is, had I put that in the report, it would have overshadowed all of the rest which, in my view, was more important."@en1
