"Mr President, as a former fellow Member stated, a significant referendum took place in Portugal yesterday. As you are no doubt aware, it was about no longer treating women who terminate a pregnancy up until the tenth week as criminals. The Portuguese people voted in favour of the proposal. I wish to congratulate the women of Portugal on having taken this step towards taking charge of their own bodies. I also wish to thank our Portuguese fellow Members and those parties that have conducted such an objective, serious and informative campaign.
Each Member State is entitled to take its own decisions concerning reproductive rights. These are matters that each country has to decide for itself. However, it is extremely important for us to be able to reach across national borders in providing information, putting forward shared opinions and showing solidarity with women. I hope that Malta, Poland and Ireland will be able to follow Portugal’s example."@en1
