"Mr President, many Member States have introduced Large Family Cards, both at national level as well as at local authority level. Their main objective is to provide assistance and support to large families. Each of these cards entitles families, to varying degrees, to benefit from discounts granted to them by the issuing entity.
However, we are still short of European Union legislation which would provide large families with identical entitlements throughout the Union. In my opinion, both the European Parliament and the European Commission should actively support large families by creating at least general principles for the introduction of a European Large Family Card. Therefore, recognising the need to acknowledge the value of large families in increasingly ageing European societies, as well as the potential for the European Large Family Card to become an effective instrument in the implementation of pro-family policy across the entire Union, I would like to make a strong call for the Commission to take prompt action in this matter."@en1
