lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, too many women and girls still undergo female genital mutilation. The number is currently estimated at 140 million around the world and, every year, approximately 3 million girls are still at risk of becoming victims of genital mutilation. Genital mutilation, which is generally carried out on infants and adolescents between the ages of four and 14, is also practised in certain African countries on babies under one year of age. It is high time that the fundamental rights of women and children were respected in all countries of the world and not just in Europe, where we are particularly concerned and where – as Mr Cashman said just now – some 500 000 women have undergone genital mutilation. The physical and mental health of all those who have been robbed of their dignity is at stake. No reason given by the mutilators can justify such barbarity towards women. It deprives them of their fundamental right to be in charge of their own bodies. Finally, Europe must therefore do all it can to help every single country combat this form of abuse and, in particular, support the efforts of associations fighting against these practices, which Ms Kiil-Nielsen and Ms Jiménez-Becerril Barrio spoke about before me."@en1
