lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the own-initiative report by Mrs Gröner is an important piece of work on equal opportunities in the European Parliament and gives us a good opportunity to decide if we can apply our proposals and recommendations for the Member States here in our own House. The report lists our entire everything we have applied and adopted in the European Parliament to date, such as the report by Mrs Lalumière. It also includes the European Commission’s good practices in promoting mainstreaming in its staffing policy. The most important aspect of this report is that it highlights the need for political will at all decision-making levels, in the administrative structure, in the Bureau, in the Conference of Presidents and in the functioning of the political groups, if we are to achieve better results in gender equality. It is true that gender equality needs to be entered on the agenda of all the institutions, because that is the only way the under-representation of women and the equality deficit will receive proper notice. The report contains interesting proposals for a social infrastructure, such as childcare facilities for members’ and employees’ children, which we feel is a together with other proposals relating to the presence of women and the impact this will have at all levels and on all policies applied in the European Parliament. This is an own-initiative report which does not impose a policy or commit us to specific measures. Nonetheless, we trust that it will provide ample opportunity for thought and will inspire us to adopt measures, now that the European Parliament is preparing to enlarge and to welcome representatives from the new Member States. We must not simply present the best possible image; we must also set an example for the new countries, without of course forgetting that many of the present Member States are still in need of advice and proposals on how to improve their parliamentary life and the operating mechanisms of their parliaments, in order to achieve equal representation between the sexes."@en1
