Multinational investment is a crucial and welcome part of Ireland’s economy. Great to meet with Mairéad McCaul and her team from MSD Ireland and hear about their work in Ireland, including supporting up to 500 jobs in Dublin.

I welcome this statement from

calling on MEPs to continue to work on and ensure that this Directive is adopted before the European elections, to prevent EU Member States from jeopardising this long-awaited law to uphold women’s human rights in Europe 🇪🇺 ⬇️

As lead negotiator for the new EU Directive to combat
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23VAW
I am disappointed &amp; angry that
https://nitter.cz/EUCouncil
have decided to omit the crime of rape based on the lack of consent in this piece of legislation aimed at protecting women in Europe 🇪🇺-it is shameful.
My position explained ⤵️

R to @FitzgeraldFrncs: The European Parliament &amp; my MEP colleagues from across the political spectrum find this rejection from the Council totally unacceptable.

The blame clearly lies with both the French &amp; German governments who are not willing to vote in favour of the inclusion of rape as a crime.
