lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wanted to take advantage of your presence here today to raise a question which, I think, will be of interest to the European Parliament, given that it has passed resolutions on the subject. As you know, this year's Miss World beauty pageant is due to be held in Nigeria on 7 December. Quite apart from any objections one might have to beauty pageants per se, I think it is unsuitable for such a dazzling international event to be staged in a country which condemns women to death by stoning, as in the recent case of Αmina Lawal. I think that we should raise our voice in protest in order to encourage other states to follow the example set by Belgium, France, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland and other countries, so that no Member State of the European Union is represented at this disgraceful beauty pageant in a country which has no respect for women's fundamental rights."@en1
