"The Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities unanimously condemns the delay on the part of the Commission, which is even more serious given that it extends from 1992 to 2000, which is the period in which there have been the most changes in terms of women’s access to work.
Furthermore, we believe that this deficiency in the legislation may be exacerbating a very serious phenomenon, that is, the rejection by young people of motherhood.
We ask the Commission, before the end of 2000, to present an amendment of Directive 92/85/EEC and that that directive be applicable to all pregnant workers, in all areas and occupations, with no exceptions or conditions.
The new legislation must be clear and progressive. It must provide for new working situations and also the new family situation of single parent families. The pregnant worker must be provided with adequate protection, which is designed for their specific circumstances, but this should not mean discrimination or a reduction in their work opportunities, but quite the opposite.
We must be able to provide the means for breast-feeding to be compatible with work. Mr President, in today’s Europe there is no room for a divorce between women and employment, and much less a divorce between women and maternity."@en1
