"As a woman and politician dealing with gender equality, I am disappointed with the Commission work programme for 2011. Women are completely forgotten by and left out of this programme. I really had to work to find at least once the word ‘women’ ... in the Annex. Even there, I quote: ‘Depending on the outcome of the consultation, the Commission may adopt a legislative proposal on reconciliation, including on paternity and filial leave, in 2012.’ ‘Depending on’. ‘May adopt’. ‘In 2012’. This sentence is from a Commission that rushed to produce an empty, so-called Women’s Charter in March, and that neglected the Parliament when it came to negotiating the new gender equality strategy, which, I might add, is no more concrete than the Commission work programme here. We knew in March that Reding’s Charter was only a façade with no substance. We asked repeatedly for a strong legislative text, but Reding did not want to hear about it. Why can we accept a Europe that sanctions Member States when they are financially not in line with EU rules and agreements but we cannot accept a Europe that sanctions Member States that neglect gender equality and compose governments with few or no women ministers?"@en1
