"Madam President, Ms Bastos has presented in her report a comprehensive analysis of the European labour market against the background of the difficult economic situation and in relation to the demographic changes that we should not overlook. In this context, I would like to remind you of the needs of women and the important role they have in our effort to increase the rate of employment. The Member States and the European Commission must integrate their actions to be taken in order to increase women’s participation in the labour market. These actions should relate to the creation of appropriate numbers of child care and elderly care centres, and to the introduction of new and flexible forms of employment. Thanks to these facilities, women will be able to harmonise professional and family life. In addition, the as yet untapped potential of women must be exploited, particularly in those areas of employment where women constitute a noticeable minority as a result of unequal treatment and social stereotyping rather than their own choice. While creating new jobs, in existing sectors such as health care and social services, as well as in recently emerging sectors such as the ecological sector or sustainable jobs, we should apply appropriate solutions to prevent the new jobs from being the source of the old and commonly practised gender-based discrimination. Good practices should be implemented from the very beginning. In conclusion, I would like to stress that all these activities must be brought down to a common denominator. The governments of the Member States must revise the implementation and enforcement of anti-discrimination laws, because often we have a good law, but the lack of proper implementation or effective protection measures mean the continued existence of gender inequality in employment."@en1
