Can they be deemed adopted?  Thank you.  Dear colleagues, our first point on today's agenda is the exchange of views on gender inequalities in health prevention and in health research.  Last week, the European Parliament celebrated the Gender Equality Week.  Our Parliament defends women's right across the EU. 

In that context, our committee would like to underline that gender equality cannot be limited to the very important equality at work or in politics.  We need gender equality also in other less visible, but equally important aspects of the life.  Health is the top of the priority of EU citizens, and gender equality with regard to our health should be one of ours, as everyone, whether men, women or children, should have the same chance chances and rights when it becomes to public health.  Today, for our exchange of views, we have two speakers.  First, the floor will take Professor Frédéric Amant from the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology.
