"Question No 61 by Anna Hedh ()
Now that Turkey has been given the go-ahead for future negotiations on EU accession, the latest figure for women's rate of employment in the country is a cause for concern. Only 10% of Turkish women are in gainful employment. Social democrats have long regarded the question of women's right to work as extremely important for increasing equality between women and men. Women in gainful employment have a sound basis for an independent life and do not become financially dependent on the family to support them. This issue has also been highlighted in the Lisbon strategy where the objective is to increase women's employment in the EU to 60% by 2010. In the light of the Copenhagen criterion requiring all applicant countries to be able to meet the Union's political, economic and monetary objectives, will the Commission say whether the question of women's employment will be raised as a priority matter in future accession negotiations with Turkey?"@en1
