Recital M
Recital M
M. whereas sexual and reproductive rights are fundamental human rights and should be taken into account in the EU’s action programme in the field of health; it is important to further improve access to public health with a view to reducing disparities in the accessibility and quality of public health services within and between the Member States; (Justification of amendment: Recital M, by citing sexual and reproductive rights, is in violation of the EU principle of subsidiarity, under which the area of health falls, pursuant to Article 168 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, under Member States’ competence. I propose a new recital M using the term ‘public health’, which functions as an umbrella term in the aforementioned Treaty and which incorporates the sexual and reproductive health of men and women.)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Maintains that women must have control over their sexual and reproductive rights, not least by having ready access to contraception and abortion; accordinglyCalls on the Member States to supports measures and actions to improve men’s and women’s access to sexual and reproductivepublic health services and inform them more fully about their rights and the services available; calls on the Member States and the Commission to implement measures and actions to make men aware of their responsibilities for sexual and reproductive matters;(Justification for amendment: Article 14 clearly promotes abortion, which marks the report’s departure from EU competences and internationally agreed definitions of the term ‘reproductive health’, which explicitly exclude abortion from the term ‘sexual health’. Therefore, in the new amendment I refer to the Member States’ competence in the area of public health, which includes the sexual and reproductive health of men and women.)
