lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome this debate and regard it as a first step towards attempting to resolve a situation which absolutely needs to be resolved in the current context. I believe that this debate raises at least three types of question. Are we still able to see even beyond the crisis? Are we still able to see Europe’s future through the interests of European citizens, and not through the immediate reality described as the economic crisis? If we are, then we need to try to change the way we speak about this. This matter is not about the benefit for women, about the benefit for men or even about the benefit for children. It is about the benefit for Europe’s societies which need to survive and be viable. This is what this is all about. If we want to stick with the nation state principle where we preserve our multiculturalism and identities, we ourselves will have to promote our birth rate policies. I believe that we need to think about European cohesion in totally different terms. Not in terms of financial resources, but completely in terms of human resources. Does Europe still need families? If it does need families, we have to encourage mothers and fathers to support their children. Education and social cohesion are not a matter of providing services which society can provide better or worse. If we think in terms of these three factors which are common to European conscience and philosophy, we only have one solution: to say ‘yes’ to this directive and not to try to think in terms of a commercialist vision, which is alien to the spirit and concept of Europe and, in my opinion, an absolute menace to Europe’s future."@en1
