Simple solution. When a girl child is born in Europe, inform her parents that if the government later discovers that she has had her genitals mutilated, unless her parents have reported the criminal act to the police, they will be held criminally liable for aggravated assault.
Their daughter will be taken from their custody, and both the mother and father will spend a minimum of 1 year in prison, each.
It does not matter matter where, or under what circumstances, the mutilation occurred. That she is mutilated is all the evidence needed.
China has "banned" all airlines in the country from joining the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) aimed at cutting carbon emissions. The authorities have also barred the airlines from increasing their fares or adding new charges for the scheme.
The scheme has come in for severe criticism not just from China but also from other countries such as the US and Canada.
The move by the Chinese authorities is likely to complicate the issue as the EU will have to decide on what measures it will take from here on.
"It is going to be very tricky. You have to wait and see how the EU will react," Siva Govindasamy of Flightglobal told the BBC. "They would be able to stop the Chinese airlines from flying to the EU, but that could see retaliatory action by China which will not be good for either side."
Analysts said that given the differences between the various parties involved, the matter may have to be resolved by an international body.
"It could potentially end up on the desk of the World Trade Organization as the countries who are against it have said it is an unfair trade practice," said Frost & Sullivan's Mr Lavigne. "Both sides have claimed that this is either fair or unfair, so it is very difficult to see how this is going to shape up."

This reminds me of the Rita Rudner skit about the dead pony at the birthday party with the kids taking rids by dragging the dead animal around the yard.
The libs and the true believers are going to ride the dead horse of global warming for all its worth inspite of all of the science that has refuted it...including the scientist that says we ended the warming cycle five years ago and are headed for another cooling cycle.

I'd like to see them ban Chinese planes from their airports. Really, I think that would be very interesting.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
