"Madam President, I supported the adoption of this report. This is not a legislative document, but it is undoubtedly a report that can be used to send a message. I am especially pleased that four-fifths of those in attendance supported the adoption of this report. I should say that, in the seven years that I have been in the European Parliament, this is still the first report on this topic that has gained this level of support. Gender equality is a basic right in the European Union. I would now ask whether, in the time that the European Union has existed, we are satisfied with our achievements in this area. I am not. Do women in Europe have equal opportunities with men? Without immersing ourselves in facts, we can see that they do not. The report indeed dealt with only one facet of this topic – increasing women’s participation in business – though here it must be said that this report is not about intervening in the free market or creating unfair competition. It is about eliminating discrimination on one side."@en1
