lpv:translated text	"The European Parliament frequently draws attention to human rights. As members of parliament we draw attention to events around the world and we are particularly sensitive to minorities, who, in certain cases, demand special attention and care. We women are not a minority, however. We represent more than half of the population of the European Union. In spite of this, women in our society encounter problems that are solely a result of their gender. So the fact that the treatment of women in various health systems continues to be discriminatory is something we simply cannot accept. Yet the right to healthcare is one of the basic socio-economic rights in the European Union Charter of Human Rights. Therefore it is right and proper that the European Parliament, as the highest democratic institution in the European Union, should draw attention to this fact and put forward possible measures. In doing so we must observe the principle of subsidiarity and we must also do so in the document we are discussing today. I therefore support the document and I also support the amendments, which are needed if the principle of subsidiarity is to be taken into account. In other words we, as the European Parliament, cannot interfere in the jurisdiction of individual Member States. However, we do have the opportunity to take an important step in discussing and formulating European policies, where we do have the relevant jurisdiction. May I point to the example of the joint decision-making of the European Parliament on the seventh framework programme. Health is an important part of this programme. The financial resources we earmark for this programme must reflect demographic indicators and the genuine needs of our citizens. In this way we can also come closer to the people and give them the opportunity to see directly how joint European policy can affect their quality of life."@en1
