"‘That the spirit of revolutionary change which has long been disturbing the nations of the world should have passed beyond the sphere of politics and made its influence felt in the related sphere of practical economics is not surprising’. These are the words of the beloved Pope John Paul II who, in his encyclical entitled
reprised the subjects tackled by his predecessor Leo XIII in the encyclical
. His purpose in doing so was to analyse and contribute to the social ‘question’ which – today as in 1991 – can only be resolved by referring to Christian doctrine and, hence, by recognising the absolutely indiscriminate dignity of the human being and the worker.
I voted in favour of the report by Mr Falbr since it focuses precisely on the importance of safeguarding human rights and the fact that the European social model is an important starting point, including in terms of the Union’s external relations. Social responsibility must work to this end and the European Union – working through Parliament – must restore and reinforce these principles in its every action, above all in dealing with non-Member States whose citizens are denied fundamental rights. As Vice-Chair of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, I feel compelled to underline how important it is that we all cooperate, including outside the EU, to eliminate gender discrimination and gender violence so as to restore the social dignity of women and revive their active contribution to the local and supranational economy alike."@en1
