"At yesterday’s vote, I voted against the report on equality between women and men. This was mainly because, in my view, many points in the report run counter to the principle of subsidiarity, such as on the matter of quotas. I abstained from voting on Recital X and paragraph 38, which concern women’s access to abortion. In my opinion, the current wording would infringe the principle of subsidiarity. I consider it to be a general principle that we at EU level should not spend our time on matters that the individual Member States themselves have the right to decide on at national level. Naturally, I support the Swedish position on the issue – namely that the decision on abortion is ultimately a decision for the woman concerned, not a matter for the legislators."@en1
