"Mr President, I am also from Finland, and I know that we have an excellent maternity leave system. I nevertheless voted in favour of maternity leave lasting 20 weeks. I was thinking about the issue from the perspective of the other Member States of the European Union. I believe that longer periods of maternity leave are important for children’s development.
Newborn children are Europe’s real capital. Mothers, children and families are the trinity on which the future will be built. Obviously too, mothers should not have to suffer financially if they want to have children, and the femaledominated sectors should not either. Women must also have rights when it comes to pay. We should be idealistic, however. We should have faith. This was a moral decision in favour of women, in favour of new life, and in favour of a new Europe."@en1
