lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Mleczko, wherever possible, our work should be ambitious. The excesses of one section of Parliament have caused the current deadlock. I should say at this point that I personally voted for the directive. We were aware of the risks involved, but some in this Chamber wanted to make a stand. We now find ourselves at war. The Commission is also partly to blame, having chosen to base the Maternity Leave Directive on combating gender discrimination. On a number of occasions, the Council warned us that it would not waste time on the excesses of its institutional partners. This has been proven by the outcome of the meeting in Kraków. So there are two possible solutions. One: the Commission could propose a new text. Two: Parliament can keep on voting until the Council is satisfied, given that it does not accept the results of the first parliamentary vote. This was the strategy used to ratify the Treaty and to save the euro, but unfortunately, it cannot be applied here in Parliament. So we really are at an impasse. The first proposal – starting from a new Commission proposal for the legal basis – is the only way that we can break the deadlock, particularly as the legal situation at work for pregnant women, women who have recently given birth, or are breastfeeding, is unsatisfactory in several Member States. The personal skills of future generations are shaped from birth through the special links between mother and child. Theoretical and practical recognition for maternity is essential if we are to tackle the problem of declining population figures in European countries."@en1
