lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the forced abortion scandal in China is truly shocking. Feng Jianmei was subject to arbitrary arrest and detention by local officials in Zengjia and, after allegedly being assaulted, was subject to a horrific forced abortion in the seventh month of pregnancy. I condemn, as does my group, this barbaric act and welcome the resulting widespread public outcry within China, which was somewhat unusual. Regrettably, sex selective abortions and even female infanticide persist in China, despite campaigns and incentives aimed at preventing and prohibiting these horrendous practices. This has led to an increasing gender imbalance with 118 newborn males for every 100 females, according to the latest census figures. The Commission must ensure that the EU budget does not fund any organisation or entity directly or indirectly involved in coercive family planning policies. The High Representative must, as a priority, place forced abortion and forced sterilisation at the top of the agenda of the next EU-China human rights dialogue."@en1
