” “"Women are the most vulnerable category" of immigrants in the EU "because they are discriminated twice both for their ethnical origin and for their gender": Rodi Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou, Greek MEP, will bring a report next Monday at the Parliament in Strasbourg, urging "a strengthening of the special services and facilities for an easier integration of immigrant women", who "must also be given appropriate education". The report asks the members states to "refuse all forms of cultural and religious relativism that might violate the fundamental rights of women" and recommends that those who commit genital mutilations and crimes to vindicate their honour should be punished. During the session at the EU Parliament, from 23rd to 26th October, the budget for 2007, as the first budget for the Financial Prospects 2007-2013, will be voted on first reading. The points on the agenda also include a debate with the president of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, and the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Hungarian revolution against the Communist regime. On Wednesday 25th October, the floor will welcome the Hungarian president László Sólyom.” “
