"I support the report on the subject of women and business leadership because I was committed to the cause of bringing more women into management positions before I became a Member of the European Parliament. As shadow rapporteur for the Committee on Legal Affairs, I was able to ensure that a corresponding section was included in the report on corporate governance in financial institutions which called on the Commission to submit a plan to bring about phased increases. In particular, I support the paragraph in the report on which we are now voting which requires companies to achieve a quota of 30% women on company boards by 2015 and 40% by 2020. Of course, voluntary measures will not be enough in this respect. We need binding legislative provisions to implement the quotas of 30% by 2015 and 40% by 2020 which will increase the representation of women on boards of directors. We are calling on the Commission to draft and submit legislative proposals on this issue."@en1
