lpv:translated text	"I agree with the opinion that it is incumbent on policy makers at both EU and Member State level and on companies to remove the barriers to women joining the labour market generally and management bodies in particular, and to offer women equal opportunities so that they can obtain senior posts, with a view to ensuring that all existing resources are efficiently utilised, that women’s skills and strengths are channelled to best effect, that the best possible use is made of the Union’s human potential, and that the EU’s core values are defended, given that equality is a fundamental principle. I abstained from the vote because the report stresses that if the steps taken by companies and the Member States are found to be inadequate, legislation, including quotas, should be proposed by 2012 to increase female representation in corporate management bodies to 30% by 2015 and to 40% by 2020, while taking account of the Member States’ responsibilities and of their economic, structural (i.e. company size), legal and regional specificities. I do not feel that it makes sense to set quotas in the field of business."@en1
