lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I asked the Commission a question very similar to the one asked today after a constituent of mine from Birmingham highlighted a campaign they are running there to help put an end to female genital mutilation (FGM). I would mention too that my Liberal Democrat colleague Lynne Featherstone, in the coalition government in the UK, has made it one of her priorities to end this horrific practice. FGM is not acceptable. It is a violation of fundamental rights and it affects thousands of women and girls living in Europe. I would like to know why the European Union is not more vocal on this issue both in Europe and with our international partners. Also, what immediate action is being taken to help Member States combat FGM, in terms, for instance, of sharing best practice for outreach to those communities where the practice is most prevalent?"@en1
