".
Ladies and gentlemen, I would thank the House for this debate. In spite of its brevity, I believe that we have heard a whole range of approaches to the issue. There can be no question that achieving equal opportunities is a long
term task, and that we often forget how much progress has been made. Incidentally, even though it is only a little over 100 years since women first attended Czech secondary schools in 1871, nowadays over 50% of university graduates are women.
In my opinion, we should take a longer
term view of matters, since it is quite obvious that we still have a great deal of work ahead of us. I am in no doubt that British pilots are among the best in the world, and indeed the same applies to British Airways, which is why I am never afraid of flying with that airline. Even though this is an extremely complex field, I am quite sure that it will be possible to find an appropriate solution that makes allowance for women’s legitimate demands. As I said at the beginning of this debate, this programme is a technical extension of the present programme, or in other words of a programme aimed at supporting European organisations that are active in the field of equal opportunities, without any restrictions on the type, form or political affiliation of these organisations."@en1
