"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, our policies for industrial development and the manufacturing sectors can help the European economy become a leader in competitiveness, knowledge and sustainability, in line with the Lisbon objectives.
Lisbon stands for growth in employment rates, significant increase in the employment of women, demand for the provision of proper conditions for the employment of female employees, and wide-ranging support for equal opportunities – over and above the positive role of women in the economy.
Equal opportunities must be underpinned in every area of industry: in employment, pay, promotion, the provision of vocational education and training, the availability and monitoring of different forms of flexible work, and the reconciliation of work and private life.
Overall, decent working conditions must be provided for women in industry and proper representation in the organisations whose job it is to safeguard their interests. These areas do not constitute an exception from the requirements of ensuring gender equality and the principles and practice of gender mainstreaming must be applied consistently here too.
It is important that we have the right information about actual work relations in the many, essentially different sectors of industry and the differences between the sectors themselves. A wide range of statistical information is required for shaping and drafting strategies and concrete proposals. Innumerable international management research projects have shown that the special leadership qualities of women can make a big contribution to business success. Europe must not lose this opportunity. Thank you."@en1
