lpv:translated text	". Mr President, first of all, I should like to thank Mrs Svensson warmly for her report, with regard to which I have two points to make. The Dutch Parliament will not discuss further measures against female genital mutilation until later on this month. The Cabinet has adopted a number of sound recommendations from the Public Health Council on the prevention and prosecution of genital mutilation. That itself illustrates how important it is that this subject, and Mrs Svensson’s report, be considered. Despite the Netherlands’ image, to which it is attached, of being a progressive country, clear policy on genital mutilation has been too long in coming, and even now, the Dutch Government has not yet decided in favour of a notification requirement for health professionals, because it fears that the public will avoid seeking medical help if is used for enforcement purposes. However, we cannot afford to take this casual approach to this serious form of abuse, and we therefore support the appeal in Mrs Svensson’s report for notification to be made mandatory. In addition to the gender disparities in health care and the need for a gender-specific approach to health complaints, as indicated in the report, there are many areas left where women and health have a special relationship and where gender-specific effects can therefore be anticipated. These should be mapped out before new legislation is introduced. Two months ago, the Dutch Parliament decided to have a gender effect report drawn up for the new care system that is due to be introduced on 1 January. I would advise the Commission to have similar gender effect reports drawn up in areas of policy that really matter to women, and would ask that these be presented to Parliament before new health care legislation is approved. This could, in fact, be seen as an addition to paragraph 11 of Mrs Svensson’s report."@en1
