lpv:translated text	"I have been making a special effort to ensure that the committee I chair would be able to complete the work leading to the approval of the resolution. This topic is undoubtedly important. Female genital mutilation causes serious and irreversible harm to the physical and mental health of the women and girls affected, it abuses them as human beings and it violates their integrity. In some cases the consequences are fatal. In the report, the European Parliament calls on Member States to adopt a preventative strategy of measures aimed at protecting underage girls that would not stigmatise immigrant communities and that would work through public programmes and social care services with the aim of preventing such practices and providing help to victims who have undergone such practices. It asks the Member States to consider, in accordance with legal regulations on child protection, whether the threat or risk of mutilation of the genital organs of an underage person does not constitute a reason for intervention from the state authorities. Member States should draw up guidelines for health workers, teachers and social workers, the aim of which should be to inform parents of the risks of female genital mutilation in a tactful way, with the assistance of an interpreter where necessary. However, the resolution also calls for support for sexual and reproductive health. This concept has never been defined by the WHO or by instruments of the . For this reason it is exploited by some groups in support of abortion. I am sorry, but I have abstained from voting for this reason."@en1
