"Mr President, as has already been mentioned, this week we celebrate International Women’s Day, but I also hope that during this week Parliament will take time to help raise awareness of an illness that affects more than 14 million women across Europe: endometriosis. This week is also Endometriosis Awareness Week. I know we get fed up with weeks for this and weeks for that, but this horrible disease is too little talked about and too often dismissed. The average time for diagnosing it is going up: it now stands at nine years. It affects 14 million women across Europe. For this disease there is still no known cause and no cure. It wrecks lives and families. If nothing else makes us think, perhaps the fact that over EUR 30 billion is lost to our economy every year might make us think. There will be a written declaration on this open later this week. I hope colleagues will take the opportunity to sign it and support raising awareness of this horrible disease."@en1
