"Mr President, let me agree with colleagues who say that more legislation is not the answer if we are not implementing existing legislation on equality.
Secondly, as someone who grew up with the movement for more equality, I worry that young women think the battle is over. Therefore, we need to invigorate the debate amongst young women and young men about the equality agenda.
On the economic crisis, yes it is affecting women, but, of course, when men lose a job, women are also affected. I think we need to be very clear that the economic crisis affects everybody, particularly families.
On paragraphs 34 and 35, I fully agree and would endorse the call for those countries which have not done so to ratify the European Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. I hope that the Irish Government lives up to its commitment to do so this year.
Domestic violence is a horrible reality: many women are indeed murdered in their own homes. We have had a recent court case involving an incident of that kind in Ireland.
Paragraph 38, however, fails to respect the subsidiarity clause in relation to abortion, and I think it needs amending."@en1
