"( ) Mr President, at a time when Europe, with the Beijing +5 Conference in New York, is emphasising its pioneering role in the implementation of the principle of equality between men and women, it seems equally important to guarantee their freedom. This freedom is achieved through a right to specific protection for women, a right that is always related to their bodies, in particular to maternity and, more specifically, pregnancy. We are therefore pleased with Mrs Damião’s excellent report, which highlights the urgent need to revise the 1992 directive. Her request for a formal ban on dismissal during pregnancy is essential, and I will dwell only on this point. It seems to me to be dangerous to allow employers any leeway in this field, as they will always use it to their advantage. Today, with the revision of Convention 103, the ILO is levelling down the protection of pregnant women, by accepting certain dismissals that are said to be unrelated to pregnancy. Europe, with Mrs Damião’s report and the revision of the directive, has a duty to be a political reference for women’s rights world-wide."@en1
