"On 8 March, International Women’s Day, I would congratulate Mrs Nedelcheva on her report on equality between women and men. I agree with her assessment that women have been particularly affected by the economic and financial crisis that we are experiencing. All the indications are that as regards
employment, health, education and social support, women will feel the consequences more and for longer than men will.
As regards income, working and recruitment conditions, and access to employment, the situation of women seems to be deteriorating more quickly than that of men. As such, it is important to create new opportunities and strengthen equality synergies between the genders, which will contribute to stimulating recovery and to economic growth itself. As 2010 was European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, I welcome the reference to combating poverty, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable women. I find it regrettable that the Left in Parliament has brought the controversy of abortion into this too, without a care for what Union jurisdictions are."@en1
