". – We are not able or willing to add or subtract anything from the internationally-established Cairo consensus. This also covers the discussion Mr Posselt is trying to push forward. As part of this Cairo consensus, it is clear beyond any doubt that coercive abortion as an instrument of family planning is explicitly rejected.
We can play around with this and say that abortion occurs for different reasons: it could be voluntary, and take place after counselling. Maybe Mr Posselt will see that as something to oppose and take up politically. However, the Commission is sticking to the Cairo consensus: that is the basis on which we work. We are extremely careful to ensure that we do not walk into uncertain territory, precisely because of the sensitivity of this subject. You will have to take my word for it, Mr Posselt, that we are very careful about sticking to the balance and substance of the Cairo consensus."@en1
