"Mr President, the European Union offers its employees in the European Commission, the Council, the European Parliament and its own political groups 20 weeks of paid maternity leave. However, the other Member States do not allow – the Council does not allow – this same benefit to be offered to all women in those countries. Why do you divide our citizens into two groups, an elite one, and one that we cannot afford? I have heard the answer many times: that we cannot afford it. It would have been interesting occasionally to hear the Commission say, when discussing a bank bailout, that we could not afford it. When the banks discharge their duties irresponsibly, here we pour in money, and there is definitely money available for this, but when it concerns families, equality and children, there is none. I think that at present, the European decision-making system and our values are both in crisis."@en1
