"Mr President, I should like to take the opportunity sincerely to congratulate the women on their international day of action. I should also like, however, to sound a note of warning to the women here in Parliament: stop focusing so much upon whether there should be more men or women in Parliament, and try to consider the millions of women who are grossly underpaid for doing the same work or work of the same value. That is something I think should be a key issue for us. In 1976, we adopted a directive, but the equal pay there should be is still not forthcoming. That is perhaps a more important perspective than that of whether there should be one or two more women. I also think it is a good day that has been chosen for the international day of action, namely my birthday.
