lpv:spoken text	". The Greens/EFA Group welcomes this report by Mrs Fourtou on Silicone Implants as a step forward in aiming to improve both the availability of information to those considering such implants and in the follow-up of the potential impact on their health. This report is also valuable in that it stems directly from the action of citizens bringing the issue to Parliament’s Committee on Petitions – an opportunity available to anyone in the EU where they have concerns about EU legislation and its implementation, or the lack of such legislation. The petitioners were people concerned, often directly, about the harmful impact of silicone implants for their health. They spoke movingly to the Committee, research was commissioned via STOA, and this report reflects the outcome. My Group welcomes the recommendation for further, more specific research. We also welcome the recommendation for a minimum age for such surgical intervention. It is of great concern to us that many young women feel the need to resort to cosmetic surgery in the search for a more perfect body in order to feel that they fit in to society, rather than society being willing to readily accept people, whatever their size and shape. There is a need in a number of member states for cosmetic surgery, particularly that offered privately, to be effectively regulated and for all patients to be given full information. The patient register is an important proposal as it will help in future research but also to reach women who may be felt to be at risk in the event of any future problem with a particular implant. I trust that the Commission communication will include the recommendations of this House."@en1
