"We Swedish Conservatives agree with the report’s depiction of the problem. In the Stockholm Programme, with regard to which we have been a strong driving force, the fight to combat violence against women is a priority. In the Action Plan implementing the Stockholm Programme, the Commission made a commitment to propose a strategy to be presented in 2011-2012 to combat violence against women, domestic violence and female genital mutilation. Furthermore, Article 8 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union stipulates that the EU shall make efforts to combat all kinds of domestic violence, and the Member States should take all necessary measures to punish these criminal acts and to protect the victims. Since criminal law is the responsibility of the individual Member States, we voted against the paragraph concerning the introduction of a directive at EU level. We voted in favour of the report, as we believe that the Member States must take measures to ensure the safety of women."@en1
