"Madam President, I make this explanation on behalf of my Group, the ECRÂ Group. This motion for a resolution addresses the issue of violence against women and includes a wide range of actions which constitute violent actions against women: sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, trafficking of women and girls, violence against women in conflict situations, genital mutilation and forced marriages.
The motion for a resolution strongly condemns all violence against women and girls and strongly states that Member States and the EU as a whole must do more in this area. To these ends, the resolution calls for a directive laying down minimum standards.
The ECR Group opposes the development of any further legal instruments in this area. We were also reassured by Commissioner Reding’s comments regarding the adopted victims package. We already have legislation in place and now Member States must implement that directive. The Commissioner does not plan to include any more legislation in this area. The ECR believes, therefore, that the issues raised in the resolution are of value and importance to all women across the European Union and hence supports the resolution overall. Our message must be zero tolerance in this area."@en1
