I abstained, because many of the amendments adopted have little to do with the original purpose of this text.
The European Parliament has already had an opportunity to say what it thinks about the issues of equality of opportunity and the special nature of women in a social and professional context, and I am pleased about that.
However, if we keep on overdoing it, we run the risk of producing exactly the opposite effect to the one we are seeking, and of producing real discrimination against women.
What will be the attitude of the managers of small and medium-sized undertakings when they are faced with increasingly restrictive rules and regulations? Will they not prefer to take on men rather than women? Is that what we want?
Protecting women does not mean imposing increasingly rigid and restricting rules. It means, above all, subscribing to firm principles, at the same time authorising the flexibility made necessary by the constraints of the job."@en1
