lpv:translated text	". This initiative, which is intended to promote a more balanced representation of women and men in the composition of the EP following the 2004 elections, is to be welcomed, although it has limitations. Increasing the participation of women in social and political life is a concern and an objective that we support, but simply calling for more women to participate in political life is not enough. As we know, progress in the field of women’s rights and in genuine equal opportunities is only achieved when these rights have solid foundations and as the outcome of social advances that have been won in battles by workers and women for their rights and not merely through elitist, artificial and administrative measures. I must underline the need, however, for greater participation by women in the social and political life of every country and in the EP. The problem is that the current neoliberal capitalist offensive to dismantle countless social achievements affects, today as in the past, but even more harshly, working women. Working women are the main victims, in particular as regards exercising their rights, including the right to have a job and to be elected to participate in social and political life. Lastly, I simply wish to recall that, in the elections to the European Parliament in 1999, on the lists of the (Unitary Democratic Coalition), of which the Portuguese Communist Party is a member, 11 of the 25 candidates were women, as was the candidate heading the list."@en1
