"The proportion of women on management boards has increased by just 0.5% per annum over the past seven years. At this rate, it will take 50 years to achieve a reasonable balance whereby women make up 40% of management bodies. In view of this reality, urgent action is needed. I have therefore voted in favour of this own-initiative report which calls on the Commission to take ad hoc measures that will allow us to up the pace.
To this end, we need comprehensive current data on female representation within EU companies. If this analysis confirms that voluntary measures taken by companies and Member States to reverse the current overwhelming male dominance are not enough, then we should, of course, consider targeted, quantifiable and binding measures to increase female representation on corporate management bodies."@en1
