lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, how typical of the Greens to sneer at those who dare to disagree. We dare to disagree with a small part of these proposals; therefore we must be derided. I applaud your commitment to these proposals – indeed, I agree with the vast majority of them – but there are one or two parts that I do not agree with. So I can applaud your commitment but I cannot applaud your tolerance. Come back in 30 years’ time and preach to me about advancing women’s rights when you have done as much work on this as I have. I will not be pigeon-holed as regressive. There are aspects of these proposals which are regressive: the idea that European women should have more European babies in an overpopulated world is socially regressive. To impose 20 weeks’ fully-paid maternity leave in the UK – I cannot explain our system quickly enough here – is financially regressive. A disproportionate number of higher paid women in the UK will receive the vast majority of the extra GBP 2 billion. It will not go to the lower paid women whom, I think, we would all want to help the most. So where is the progression? Member States are best placed to decide these details; the principles of subsidiarity should apply."@en1
