lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I thank the rapporteur for her initiative. I think, Commissioner, that the whole debate illustrates the fact that we are facing two major problems. First of all, I should like to see the common agricultural policy as an opportunity to look at rural development in a new light. For this purpose, we will need to employ all the forces in rural areas. We will need to shape those forces. Some of these forces are more flexible than others. I know from experience that women are often much more open to innovation than men. I therefore hope that projects will be set up whereby entrepreneurship – which women display in practice but which is often not recognised economically, politically or socially – will be promoted. This recognition is, of course, necessary. I would like to give the example of farm tourism in Australia, where agriculture stopped being profitable a long time ago. Families there live by farm tourism. What would become of this without the female entrepreneur? This does, of course, require a proper social statute. Do you not find it shameful that after all these years, as Mrs Lulling clearly stressed, there is still not one country, as far as I know, that has a proper statute for the self-employed helper? This is all done in dribs and drabs. It remains a major problem and I think that the Union should take the initiative to guarantee women helpers in rural areas at least a minimum social standard."@en1
