lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would firstly like to say that, for me, the fight for equality between men and women has nothing to do with the Left or Right; it is not a fight by men or by women; it is a fight for society as a whole. What kind of contemporary society would invest in training young girls, as we do, only to then deny itself of 50% of the available intelligence in the workplace? That must not be the kind of society in which we live. I call on you, the Commission, the Council and Parliament to mobilise so that we leave behind a more egalitarian, fairer society that does more to harness the training of young girls and their intelligence. The second point, Commissioner, concerns equal access to positions of responsibility. As you know, I am French and I was against quotas. But after 10 years, I have realised that without quotas, we will not achieve anything. Without quotas, there will never be as many women as there are men in positions of responsibility. I heard the President of Parliament support this view last week. I think that we really do need to go down this road now. You know that I was against quotas as I find it somewhat degrading having to protect women who should be able to progress on the basis of their skills. I feel we now need to resort to that approach, however. The third and final point is our need to fight for equal pay for men and women. Thank you for your contributions."@en1
