lpv:translated text	". In line with the proposal I tabled in the relevant committee, I welcome, in particular, the inclusion of the framework concept of ‘family-friendly policies’, and the guideline to pursue policies governing taxation and other levies and tariffs in public services that take account of the family and the greater size of family units, without discriminating against them. Also important is the report’s recognition of the social and economic value of family and domestic work, which is often overlooked and scorned, either through deeply-held prejudice or a simple lack of interest, which results in prejudice against individuals and in real inequalities. I also welcome the adoption of the amendment I tabled against revising the concept of the family. Revising this concept would be both misguided and also outside the sphere of Parliament’s competence. The family, which is a secular sociological and anthropological reality and is unequivocally deep-rooted, must not be confused with individual options that result in different situations and which do not fall within the scope of the family. I would also highlight the aptness of the reference to the need to provide specific allowances for situations including large families, for children with disabilities or for multiple births, and also the idea that the Member States must develop forms of cooperation and networks for exchanging good practice. Once again, I congratulate Mrs Bastos on her excellent work and on the enormous step forward that this report represents. It will serve as a benchmark for family policies in the European Parliament."@en1
