lpv:translated text	"( Madam President, Members of the Commission. The Lisbon Strategy has set us a task which is not an easy one – to create new and higher quality jobs and, at the same time, to provide for the citizens of the European Union a similar or higher level of social security. Most countries allocate substantial resources to pay for an army of unemployed. Many young people spend far too long searching in vain for their first job, so that they can gain the necessary experience. Meanwhile, apart from their regular employment, mothers have the responsibility of maternal duties and are therefore working twice over. At the same time Europe has an ageing population as women are no longer prepared to bear as much responsibility for the normal reproduction of the population as they did in the past. Equality in the field of education has given women more opportunities in employment and vocational advancement, if, of course, they do not have children or put off having children until later. In this day and age we can no longer ask women to have more children for the good of society and devote themselves to motherhood, and also expect them to bear all the financial consequences on their shoulders. Similarly we cannot expect employers to provide extra benefits for mothers voluntarily. For this reason the countries of the European Union need to formulate systematically the kind of employment policy, including financial incentives and benefits, that will encourage employers to create jobs suitable for mothers, without either the employer or the mother herself suffering any negative consequences as a result. In this way mothers would not have to choose between a career and motherhood but could combine both in the interests of society and for their own development and benefit. Economising at the expense of motherhood is a poor investment for the future of society."@en1
