"Madam President, I was the shadow rapporteur of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Group in connection with this report. I would like to say that in the Czech Republic, one child in four lives in a single-parent family, with mothers accounting for 90% of single parents, which is very alarming. I therefore mainly support policies that will enable these women to work and to combine employment with child care. I consider flexible employment opportunities, such as part-time work or working from home, to be vital here. Apart from this, it is also necessary to provide sufficient child care infrastructure to allow single mothers to go to work.
I know from my own experience in local authority politics that it is necessary to secure a decent existence for single mothers and their children through various support policies. I would like to thank the rapporteur for the report, as it is, in my opinion, an excellent piece of work, outlining the main problems of single mothers and focusing on the right objectives. However, as a member of the ECR Group, I still question whether the political instruments referred to in the area of health care, education, social security systems and so on should be within the competency of the EU. In my opinion, the Member States will handle many of them better."@en1
