"The principle of equality is, along with freedom, one of the pillars of the democratic rule of law. It is because I believe in the importance of the principle of equality that I believe men and women deserve the same opportunities, and should both be in a position to achieve management and leadership roles in the world of business. However, this should be achieved by removing the barriers that still remain for women – such as, for example, the negative impact of motherhood on career progression – and not by imposition using regulation and quotas. As I have had occasion to say numerous times, I believe that quotas only diminish women rather than guaranteeing them equal access to a profession, to public office, or to management and leadership roles in business. I still believe we should instead continue to fight to prevent 21st century women from having to choose between motherhood and a career, between family and work, and between children and management and leadership roles in business."@en1
