lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am very pleased that, just as my fellow Member said, we will adopt a joint resolution tomorrow that lends explicit support to the United Nation’s work to prevent female genital mutilation and that establishes that this is a completely unacceptable form of violence against women. I would like to emphasise that the fight against female genital mutilation, both in Europe and worldwide, must go hand in hand with stepping up the work for increased equality between men and women at all levels of society. This also means strengthening women’s sexual and reproductive rights and their right to decide on matters relating to their own body and their own sexuality. In Europe, we must be careful not to single out particular cultures or groups; instead, we must work at strengthening the position of girls and women within society as a whole, in both majority and minority groups. Targeted efforts to prevent female genital mutilation are also necessary, however, in cooperation with women’s organisations and other key players. Finally, I would like to emphasise the fact that, in this resolution, we are clearly urging the Commission once again to present a proposal for an EU strategy to prevent violence against women, as a cohesive strategy like this will enable us to take effective and forceful EU measures to combat female genital mutilation in Europe."@en1
