"Madam President, I welcome the fact that the Commission and the European Parliament have made vigorous efforts to promote female business leaders. As a female entrepreneur, I have given a great deal of support to several women in leadership positions in business. Unfortunately, however, I voted against this report, because I do not believe that the solution to this lies at EU level. We should not legislate on quotas and we should not ask the Commission to take measures to force wage differences to be dealt with or certain quotas of women to be taken on in companies. The European Parliament and the Commission have an important role to play in stimulating debate, shaping opinion and putting pressure on companies, but not in dictating from above. Governance is better dealt with at national level, in our own countries. I also believe that voluntary measures could yield better results in Sweden, but the situation is different in other countries in Europe when it comes to putting pressure on companies to include more women on their boards."@en1
