lpv:translated text	". Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, here it comes, at last, to be debated in this plenary – the Commission’s roadmap for the equality of women and men for 2006 to 2010. I have to say, though – speaking as the draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs – that I still do not understand why such a long period of time had to elapse between its being first tabled and discussed in the Committee on Employment and the debate on it in this plenary today. Particularly in view of the fact that the EU is the source of a very large number of initiatives aimed at giving equal status to women and men – something that might otherwise not have made so much progress in the Member States – we should take care not to lose so much time in the progress of this through Parliament, which has now been dragging on for almost over nine months. In the committee, there was agreement among us that, despite great progress having been made, women still suffered considerable discrimination, and that women are particularly subject to the effects of globalisation and changes in population. There are two aspects of this to which I would like to draw your attention. Over 40% of all employment in the EU is what is described as ‘non-standard’ in form, and it is predominantly women who are affected by this. I am very pleased to hear Commissioner Špidla say that the intention was that there should be a review of the degree to which conditions had changed for self-employed women too. I would, furthermore, like to say that the proposals as regards the compatibility of family and working life contained in the report enjoy wholehearted support from us on the committee."@en1
