lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am very grateful for the speeches and the explanations from the Presidency, which were very long, but, even so, were unconvincing. As stated, what we are dealing with is a health-related issue. This is what the World Health Organisation (WHO) says, not the European Parliament. We are dealing with an issue of economic opportunity. The reports we have produced say so. They show this is not a problem of costs, but is, in fact, an opportunity to improve and further strengthen our emergence from the crisis, also in the area of gender. This is an issue of rights; the rights of women who work and want to be mothers, and the rights of mothers who want to work. It is a question of joint responsibility, because we cannot ignore the fact that having children is not only the responsibility of mothers, but also of fathers and, in a general way, of society as a whole, because as far as I know, there is no other known way of having children, and societies need them. We need to make fathers accept the responsibilities of fatherhood, but we also need society to accept that mothers must not fulfil this duty alone. I would also like to add that this is a matter of Europeanism, because while it is true that the Member States have certain prerogatives, I think we would all agree that we should make sure no mother in the European Union feels discriminated against because the government in place in her country does not have such a clear and responsible vision of what the rights of a working mother mean."@en1
