"While I strongly oppose all of the EU’s negative measures – and there are many of them – I support them when things go the right way. Thus, in this report, strong calls are made (especially to the European Commission) concerning the unequal treatment suffered by women, the introduction of paternity leave, the creation of a year for combating violence against women and the right to easy access to contraception and abortion. The report also emphasises that women must have access free of charge to consultation on abortion.
The reason for my positive vote, therefore, is the improvement achieved, but it is an improvement that needs to be more evident in practice.
All the more so since I can only regret the refusal of a majority in Parliament to support the creation of a European charter of women’s rights, a European inter-gender violence monitoring centre and an ‘International Equal Pay Day’. Similarly, this Parliament has made no attempt to tackle the deep causes of these inequalities, which lie in the economic system of market rule alone, which Europe applies every day."@en1
