This resolution responds to the European citizens’ initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion’. It notes that the initiative calls for EU funding for abortion services, which falls under Member States’ exclusive competence, and therefore raises subsidiarity concerns.¶ It recalls that abortion policies and related health services are the exclusive responsibility of Member States, and underlines that no new EU action or legislative proposals are needed.¶¶
Key points
- Notes that the initiative calls for an EU funding mechanism for abortion-related services, which would touch on areas of exclusive Member State responsibility and raises subsidiarity concerns.¶
- Recalls that abortion and sexual and reproductive health policies, and the organisation and delivery of related medical services, are the exclusive responsibility of Member States.¶
- Underlines that, given the clear division of competence and the current legal framework, there is no need for new action or legislative proposals at EU level.¶
