This resolution responds to the European citizens’ initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion’. It notes the initiative seeks EU funding for abortion, which it sees as indirect harmonisation and a breach of subsidiarity.¶ It reaffirms that the EU has no competence in abortion policy and calls on the Commission to reject the initiative as incompatible with EU competences and national sovereignty.¶¶
Key points
- Notes that the initiative seeks to establish a European funding mechanism for abortion, which would amount to indirect harmonisation and an unacceptable attempt to bypass the Treaties and undermine member states’ sovereignty.¶
- Reaffirms that the EU has no legal competence to legislate, promote or finance initiatives in abortion policy; decisions remain exclusively within member states’ remit.¶
- Calls on the Commission to reject the initiative as incompatible with EU competences, subsidiarity, national sovereignty and member states’ legal frameworks.¶
