"The European Parliament has voted in favour of an EU policy framework to combat violence against women. We welcome the decision and we voted in favour of the proposal as a whole. The decision was particularly important as it calls on the Commission to fulfil its previous promises to table a specific legislative proposal with a view to combating violence against women.
However, the proposal contains certain wordings regarding surrogacy that we think were far too simplistic in their general negative attitude to this phenomenon and to international adoptions. We are not naive with regard to the problems surrounding surrogacy, but we do not want to attack something on account of these problems that in certain cases can be a positive experience for the parties involved. That is why we voted against those particular wordings concerning surrogacy – a position that our group, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, also adopted in the original vote in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality."@en1
