lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am also speaking on behalf of my EPP colleague, Mairead McGuinness. Both of us would like to congratulate the rapporteur and the shadows on a very good own-initiative report, which is concise, succinct and, importantly, sticks to the point. I especially welcome paragraph 11 which calls on the Turkish Government to investigate the phenomenon of honour suicides. While I welcome the fact that honour killings are now classified as aggravated circumstances – murder, in other words – I am concerned that honour killings have been replaced by honour suicides. I welcome that paragraph 11, for example, calls for further research on this. We need to follow it up vigorously. I voted against paragraph 41. I am not against paternity leave but, as far as I am concerned, not all EU countries have paternity leave. Therefore, we are not in a position to insist that it happens in Turkey. Last, but by no means least, I voted against paragraph 45. Again, I am not against maternity leave and I have actively supported the Estrela report. However, I believe that the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality is not in a position to dictate to Turkey on this matter."@en1
