"I did not abstain from voting on the report because I do not recognise the social and human importance of women. Rather I abstained because I consider it reductive to allocate responsibility for the current economic crisis to men, because they are of the male gender. In the text submitted in this Chamber today, I also encountered more than a few elements contained in previous documents and already approved by the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality. I am also convinced that, by their very nature, women are endowed with more pronounced managerial and administrative capacities than we men and in present-day society the roles of effective prestige with which they are entrusted have yet to be acknowledged. Having said this, however, the roots and causes of the economic crisis are quite different and certainly cannot be attributed to the small proportion of women on the boards of directors of banks or rating agencies. One of the most severe consequences of this crisis is the high unemployment rate, which is hitting everyone very alarmingly, particularly young people and women. I believe that the European Union has long been engaged in recognising the role of women in society and the Parliamentary Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality is a clear example of this. At the same time, however, I believe that the EU must adopt a very different course of action to ensure women are valued and their true worth is acknowledged."@en1
