lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, when my country’s Parliament rejected the law’s amendments banning any violence against children, including corporal punishment, once again, this only demonstrated that contemporary society is dominated by intolerance towards the opinions of its youngest and weakest members, as well as an unwillingness and inability to comprehend the importance of children’s rights and their interests. Once again, this demonstrated the fact that we urgently need to debate the issue of the protection of children’s rights and combating violence against them. However, many in my country consider the smacking of children to be a form of cultural heritage or an effective method of education. I completely disagree with this and would like to stress that a lack of emotional control and the resulting justification for aggression, calling this education, is wrong and unjustifiable. I would like to point out that violence poses a serious threat to children’s physical and mental health and their personal and social development. Given that children are the most vulnerable group in society, I call on the Commission and the Council to strengthen measures for combating violence against children by establishing compulsory standards in all EU Member States and cooperating more actively with Member States and non-governmental organisations to stop violence against children. I also call on Member States to take the necessary action and preventative measures to combat violence against children."@en1
