"I would like to stress three key points in relation to this issue.
Employers must learn not to put women in unsuitable jobs or jobs where their abilities are not sufficiently valued. The European Union institutions must keep an eye on those bodies that are receiving their help to make sure they respect the
Even though different opinions exist, society should respect the fact that men and women are different, but at the same time complement each other. It is the basic principle of life and it should also be the basic principle of the policy on equal opportunities for women and men.
Diversity and compatibility in the job market and in society are fundamental. The report by Mrs Figueiredo outlines our responsibility in implementing the Lisbon Strategy, in Europe’s ‘demographic winter’. The report correctly underlines the health risks and various types of occupational diseases that can be different in men and women.
I fully support the rapporteur in her request for a full analysis of the existing situations and their consequences. Such analysis must also include the specific impact on motherhood. Nothing can justify, for the sake of future careers, future mothers being exposed to health risks that can have a negative influence on motherhood. Equally, it is the responsibility of the industrial sector not to punish women if they want to have children, and the sector should make it possible for them to be able to return to their original position after maternity leave."@en1
