lpv:spoken text	"In light of recent reports on the number of women at director level across the EU, which found that more women in high-level positions in financial institutions would have meant the financial crisis would not have been so severe, I welcome this report. This report sends a strong message to companies that the EU is serious about addressing the gender gap, and that if they will not take voluntary action, the Commission will come forward with legislative proposals including introducing quotas. Evidence proves that companies with a higher percentage of women in senior positions tend to perform better both commercially and financially, but the Parliament underlines that recruitment should nonetheless still be based on skill, qualifications and experience and not positive discrimination, which only diminishes the position of women in the workforce."@en1
