"The European Parliament has just adopted the Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou report on women and business leadership, which raises issues such as the promotion of corporate social responsibility and women’s involvement in the workplace. It is worth highlighting the fact that equal rights for women and men are one of the European Union’s leading principles. Differences can currently be seen in the employment of women, particularly as regards high-ranking positions. Women earn less than men for performing the same jobs, and the gender-based imbalances can be seen clearly from employment statistics for managerial positions. According to the data, the vast majority of the highest-ranking positions on company boards are held by men, but it is evident that women are making ever bolder advances towards these prestigious and well-paid jobs. Personally, I support all measures aimed at removing these barriers, and I therefore voted in favour of adopting the report."@en1
