lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the role and perspectives of women in international trade is something that has yet to be sufficiently analysed or promoted by the governments or those responsible for commercial policy. Little is known about the impact of trade on women, and neither do we know anything about the effect of trade on gender inequalities. We have seen very few examples of concrete policies in the sector for promoting equality between men and women. This lack of knowledge is due to the lack of sufficient data differentiated by gender in the statistics on trade and also the lack of a gender perspective in economic models and analyses. It is possible and necessary to contribute to gender equality by means of trade. In this regard, we applaud, for example, the Norwegian Government’s decision to impose by law a 40% quota for women’s participation on the boards of directors of limited companies. In my country, Spain, too, a law is being negotiated, known as the equality law, which includes making it obligatory for there to be a balanced presence of men and women on the management boards of commercial companies, a balanced presence meaning that there must be no more than 60% of either sex and no less than 40%. We therefore applaud Mrs Breyer’s amendment urging the Commission also to draw up a legislative proposal of this nature. I would like to take this opportunity, Mrs Breyer, to congratulate you most warmly on your work."@en1
