lpv:translated text	"Madam President, only between 14% and 25% of working women in the European Union are employed in industry. In addition, their participation in different sectors of industry is uneven, due to the stereotypes affecting educational and professional choices. Women are employed mainly in the textile, clothing, footwear, food and food processing sectors, where pay is generally low. Women are significantly under-represented in the more highly-paid advanced technology sectors. The Member States should develop programmes aimed at educating women and fostering their entrepreneurial spirit. They should also offer financial support for such programmes. In addition, incentives should be provided for women working in industry to improve their qualifications on a regular basis. Every Member State has a duty to comply with the principle of equal pay, to provide dignified working conditions and the opportunity to develop a professional career, while at the same time respecting social values such as motherhood and fatherhood. Compliance with social standards such as the right to safety, social protection and freedom of association will help to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women in the workplace. Finally, I should like to congratulate Mrs Figueiredo on a very well-prepared report."@en1
