lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to express my thanks for a good report. It should be obvious to everyone that men and women should have the same opportunities to participate in decision-making at all levels, but unfortunately this is not the case. So what can be done? We need greater equality in the home, access to good child care, shared parental responsibility, more encouragement within educational systems to break with traditional gender-linked roles, and flexible working hours in order to accommodate individual requirements. In addition to this, we also need working methods in politics, industry and trade unions which are not based on men’s priorities. Despite the fact that politics continues, to a far too great extent, to be a male domain – in some countries more than in others – the problems are greater still in industry and trade union organisations. This is unacceptable and needs to be the focus of more attention. Equality is a women’s issue and can only be achieved through cooperation between both sexes. Therefore, men must be involved – in a totally different way than at present – in working towards equality. For instance, more men should be actively involved in working towards equality within this Parliament. We more women in decision-making positions, but – and this is where I agree with Mrs Theorin because they are women but because it is unacceptable for so much skill and experience to go to waste."@en1
