Official Journal C 341 , 29/11/1999 P. 0145
WRITTEN QUESTION E-0820/99 by Odile Leperre-Verrier (ARE) to the Commission (6 April 1999) Subject: Future of medical gynaecology Can the Commission indicate whether, as a result of the harmonisation of medical specialisms, medical gynaecology, as practised in France, is likely to disappear? Should not, rather, this specialism be extended to the whole of Europe, given its importance for women's health? This specialism which complements obstetric gynaecology, which is more technical and interventionist because geared towards deliveries and surgery, allows: - contraception, - prevention of certain cancers - treatment of STD to be treated more effectively and for women to receive a more sympathetic hearing for their problems. Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (28 April 1999) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Question No E-3227/96 by Mr Baldarelli(1).
