SIR EUROPA: LUNTE (COMECE), CALLED TO "APPLY MORE AUTHENTIC FAMILY POLICIES" (2)

” “"One should not read in the document – goes on Lunte – a non-existent position of the Church, imposing a lifestyle from the top of a sort of moral ground, nor a non-existent appeal to the EU to extend its jurisdiction on family policies: the document means to help those who suffer, even those who suffer in their souls, and so we would like people to read it as a sort of guidebook as to what the Union can do with the means it has available now to prevent breaks and solve marital conflicts, while making a contribution to a good parental role". As to the expected response of the EU institution, Lunte would like to see "a reduction in the VAT on some basic children’s products, the addition of the issue of broken families in the agenda of the European Demographic Forum due in 2010, and the implementation of the proposed launch of the European Good Parents’ Year in 2011".” “
