lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would also like to give my support for all the praise of Mrs Hautala, who has worked very hard on this matter. I imagine it has not been easy, as rapporteur, to reconcile all views, although the majority of people taking part in the work were women. I would like to point out that reality is often ahead of legislation. I would also like to emphasise that legislation is often not sufficient, but must be supplemented once we have a law. I would therefore highlight the need for plans regarding equal opportunities and for employer responsibility in a modern society. Mrs Ghilardotti said that women’s role has changed in the last 25 years, but so has that of men and consequently also working life. I believe the last remaining bastions will soon be employers and their organisations. We have talked a great deal about sexual harassment. This concept is difficult to define, but Swedish lawyers are currently trying to come up with a definition of undesirable, unwelcome behaviour in the workplace by one person towards another. It is exciting to define phenomena which, though they are old, are only now being highlighted. We have also talked about paternity leave. I would like to point out that one does not choose to be a parent – a parent is something you are once you have become one. When employing new staff, employers ask applicants whether they will become or plan to become parents. Working life is part of life, not all of it. This is true for both women and men, as well as for children. I hope that the vast majority will back Mrs Hautala’s proposal."@en1
