"I voted in favour of this report because men and women do not have the same opportunities to run and develop companies, and promoting entrepreneurship among women is a long-term process that requires time to change structures and attitudes in society. Although women have always been entrepreneurial, rules and the traditional division of roles have meant that entrepreneurship has not always been an option for women, and therefore we must call on Member States to set up nationwide campaigns, including workshops and seminars, to promote and inform women more effectively about the European Progress Microfinance Facility and about all the funding possibilities offered by this facility. The European Parliament calls on the Commission and Member States to encourage women’s participation in local chambers of commerce, lobbying groups and industry-based organisations that form the mainstream business community so that they can develop and strengthen competitive business skills. It also calls on chambers of commerce to actively invite female entrepreneurs to become involved and to promote the setting-up of special services and representative groups for female entrepreneurs to assist their empowerment and the development of an enterprise culture. Furthermore, the Commission should run a campaign promoting women’s involvement in work by setting up their own companies and, at the same time, provide information about the various instruments available to facilitate business start-ups."@en1
