lpv:translated text	"Worryingly, the report states that only 3% of the CEOs of the EU’s largest companies are women and women only make up 10% of the membership of boards of directors. I agree that we must enable qualified and competent women to have a career and to obtain senior posts. I voted in favour of this report because it calls for the current deadlock to be broken, and outlines ways of doing this, by encouraging discussions at both national and EU levels. Companies need a practical model to promote the participation of women in management, objectives must be set and the timeline for their implementation must be defined. I agree with the Commission’s opinion that there should be 30% women on company boards by 2015 and 40% by 2020. Balanced representation of men and women on boards should be one of the priorities for action for companies and, in this area, the EU could be an example to the rest of the world."@en1
