"The objective of increasing female representation in corporate management bodies to 30% by 2015 and to 40% by 2020 will reinforce the efforts of Parliament and the European Union to promote a society that is more equitable, and socially fair and developed. Currently, only 10% of the board members of the EU’s largest stock exchange-listed companies are women and just 3% of those boards are chaired by a woman. The gender pay gap is still as high as 17.5% for the EU as a whole, and this applies not just in more physically demanding productive sectors or in roles that are more basic, but also to management or administrative roles. However, I am opposed to implementing quotas as I believe they reduce and erode the prestige of those benefiting from them, and could devalue efforts to evaluate merit and quality."@en1
