Paragraph 1 – point w f (new)
(wf) considers that maternal mortality rates remain unacceptably high in many developing countries, with more than 500 000 women dying each year from treatable and preventable complications relating to pregnancy and childbirth; therefore urges EU Member States to dramatically step up efforts and funding so as to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health information and services which are essential for the attainment of the health MDGs, gender equality and the fight against poverty,
