"Mr President, on behalf of my political group I congratulate the committee on its report. Congratulations are also due to my fellow Member for expressing Parliament’s view in her report, even though on certain points we suggested amendments to improve it and to show, through Parliament’s report, that we recognise what has happened on the basis of the roadmap for equality, and on the basis of the pact for gender equality.
We have had considerable quantitative success. We still have to improve on how well we implement the measures. We must ensure effective implementation and extended legal protection through the appointment of a competent body for complaints in each Member State by laying down sanctions based on the proportionality principle.
We also want the subsidiarity and free-choice principles to be maintained. As far as work in the family combined with professional life is concerned, we do not want just working women to be covered. Cover should extend to the unemployed, those who decide to be involved solely with their households, those in the liberal professions and those who are self-employed in family businesses.
We want to reinforce maternity and family leave. We believe that the communication we are awaiting from the Commission will cover us at this point with a good proposal.
Since women study and work more, they deserve to be paid for all types of service provision."@en1
