"I have voted in favour because I strongly believe that we need to recognise the central role played by women in places where their work is fundamental to the performance or recovery of that particular local economy, which in itself contributes to the general growth of our countries.
The role of women in the agricultural sector has changed significantly in recent decades, becoming an ever more multifunctional position. For this reason, the European institutions should take steps aimed at avoiding an exodus of women from the countryside, or in any case at encouraging the return of women to rural life. Support for women and their plans would lead to progress in the development of rural communities as a whole.
We need to offer women who work in the agricultural sector the chance to achieve their individual life plans, making them economically independent, and able to meet familial responsibilities. Jobs in agriculture must remain attractive to women so that they are able to carry out their multiple professional competencies. In this period of financial and economic crisis, it is fundamental that we create equivalent working conditions in the countryside and in cities, so as to repopulate territories which could provide a kick-start for economic recovery in a given European region."@en1
