"Mr President, I should like to begin by congratulating Ms Bozkurt for the work she has done on this report, which gives a clear account of the situation of women in Turkey. All information and statistics about the current situation regarding women’s rights in Turkish society are valuable and useful.
I voted in favour of this report because it shows us once again that the principle of gender equality and respect for fundamental rights are not being put into practice, in spite of the legislative provisions that are in place. It is a reminder of how important it is that we continue our endeavours to ensure that women no longer have to suffer discrimination and violence because of their gender, not only within the borders of Europe, but wherever they are in the world.
The vision embodied in the European social project is one in which all men and women are masters of their own rights, free from all forms of violence and discrimination and free to develop their full potential as human beings, in an environment of equality.
I therefore urge that we continue along these lines in our relations with third countries, because the European Union has a vital role to play on the international stage and promoting the universal principles of our Charter of Fundamental Rights is a major part of this."@en1
