lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I want to thank the Polish Presidency for the way in which it has endeavoured to address this new directive. I could say it is new because it has undergone numerous improvements thanks to the amendments tabled in Parliament. You stated, Minister, that the three institutions have a shared objective, but it is targeted in different directions. I can sincerely tell you that, as far as the European Parliament is concerned, it is targeted at citizens. I know that the Polish Presidency is pro-European and we certainly need more Europe, but we should not forget that Europe belongs to its citizens and not to governments. This is why I want to tell you that this directive and the stance which we have adopted in Parliament are sound because all it does is provide a new instrument which we can use to ensure that a work-life balance is achieved and also to resolve the economic crisis we are going through. I did not understand what you were referring to when you said that Parliament has overlooked existing solutions. What does our position stand for? Maternity leave which has simply taken into account the recommendations made by the World Health Organisation and a new vision: one where motherhood must not be penalised. Minister, I am surprised that no representatives from the European Commission are here, but I hope that together, given that the codecision procedure applies, we will be able to find a solution enabling us to make progress with this dossier which is so important, especially at the moment. Indeed, the ‘passerelle’ clause may provide a solution."@en1
