Via Resolution, House Rejects EP's Attempts to Interfere in Member States Rights

Bratislava, November 5 (TASR) - The Slovak Parliament has rejected the European Parliament's (EP) attempts to interfere in the rights of the European Union (EU) member states, pointing to EP's resolution on the inclusion of the right to abortion in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, TASR learnt from a resolution adopted by MPs on Tuesday. It was submitted to Parliament by a group of coalition MPs. "The resolution of the European Parliament goes against the spirit of the Slovak Constitution and contradicts the Declaration of the Slovak Parliament on the sovereignty of EU member states and candidate states in cultural and ethical issues. It also fails to respect the responsibility of EU member states for the definition of their health policy, for the organisation and provision of health services and health care, as laid down in the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU," reads the document on the resolution. am/mcs
