lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, the motion for a resolution by Mr Tarabella, who joined us in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality at the last European elections, is ambitious. I refer, in particular, to paragraph 20: ‘Parliament wishes to see a European Charter of Women’s Rights established’. Anyone familiar with the history of European integration will remember that the Treaty of Rome already provided for the principle of gender equality in the labour market. Laws on equal treatment between women and men exist in every Member State. It is an easy solution to ask for new charters. It is more of an effort to apply the existing instruments. In reality, if we do not remove paragraph 20 from this motion for a resolution, we will be adding to the Council of Europe’s European Convention on Human Rights, to the European Union’s Charter of Fundamental Rights and to the brand new European Institute for Gender Equality a fourth instrument which would take the form of a special new charter dedicated to the promotion of women. I have some questions. What would be the use of a new charter of women’s rights? What added value would it bring? There is none. It is a mistake to believe that a charter will solve women’s problems. Natural law, which ought to guide us in our thoughts and in our responsible political action, does not admit of special rights. No one can say that the legal instruments ignore women’s rights. That would be intellectually dishonest and factually incorrect. That is why I am voting against paragraph 20. The charter is the main issue. If paragraph 20 remains in the motion for a resolution, I am unable to support it. Finally, Commissioner, I thank you for your cooperation with the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality during your mandate."@en1
