Was she welcomed and recognised by the world famous estonian member of the parliament siiri Oviir (yes, that's really an MEP) ? Do we have pictures of her overwelmed by emotion to be invited by such an important assembly ?

The text of the article, albeit less flattering for the parliament, and even slightly opposing what the title says, might be closer to the truth:

"Leading MEPs have joined Nicole Kidman and the UN in the Say NO to violence against women campaign. Some 5 million people worldwide have already added their names to the campaign."

Well, doesn't matter who was first, as long as the result is good:

"MEPs have until 12 March to sign. A Parliamentary written declaration comes into effect if a majority of MEPs sign it. "

Ah, so that's just a project so far ? Well, anyway, if the MEPs succeed gathering all the signature and reach the majority, that's going to make a big impact, isn't it ?

"If a majority of MEPs sign this declaration, it will be sent to the President who will announce it in plenary"

and, what next ? Sending the peace brigade ? A million european blue helmet sent everywhere there is violence against women ? Major money put on education to solve the issue ?

"and forward it to the Commission and Council. "

...

Well

....

...There is a least one thing the parliament does better than this actress: our MEP Siiri Oviir as more than twice the number of "i" than Nicole Kidman on the name. That's already a success by EU standards.

Oh, and don't forget to vote for the next European elections.
