I apologise for leaving the meeting earlier but I had to go to the Chamber. It is all about making a difference and it was interesting to hear Mr. Lambrinidis bring this out. I wish to discuss making a difference with regard to the rights of women and gay people. This country is holding a constitutional convention at present. Other countries are also drawing up constitutions. Does Mr. Lambrinidis have a role in advising on the rights of these two groups?
