As part of the European Parliament’s objective to be proactive in terms of the participation of women in the decision-making bodies of the various organisations, the report by Mrs Miet Smet is an important milestone, and I am pleased to support the report in this House.
It is extremely important to implement strategies which seek to promote a more balanced representation within social consultation bodies. Within these bodies, decisions are taken that are crucial for women, concerning equal opportunities in the workplace and prospects for career progression. In order to protect women’s interests, we therefore need to compile accurate statistical data, which is the first essential step in achieving a genuinely balanced representation. The increased presence of women will thus help to create new points of view on all the policies defined by the social partners.
This report is heading in this direction and must be given backing so that the European Parliament can gain further credibility in terms of its objectives. This will require the cooperation of social partners, and particularly of employer organisations whose efforts, it must be said, are lacking in this area.
It is clear that this report is also applicable to the framework of enlargement, and that it is important to start to involve the candidate countries immediately in the process of making the presence of women more balanced."@en1
