European Parliament
Hélène Goudin (IND/DEM ),
in writing.
(SV)
I share many of the rapporteur’s views on this subject. It is extremely important that public awareness of these issues be raised in the Member States. I have voted in favour of the report because it does not expressly recommend legislation at EU level. A number of recommendations are presented to both the Commission and the Member States with a view to combating violence against women. I believe that this issue is ultimately one regarding which the national parliaments should take any legislative measures that may be necessary.
