"Mr President, I would like to say to the Minister that this debate is not about time schedules for breastfeeding but all about priorities: priorities of men and women, and priorities of the European Union. Like men, women should also have the right both to work and have a family without having to choose.
In the Europe 2020 strategy, we aim to reach a 75% employment rate for women. To achieve this, immediate measures are necessary. In the EU, we are working towards a competitive and inclusive economy. Thinking that all the responsibilities of having children should be endured by women alone is outdated but, unfortunately, still reality. We should promote shared responsibility and stress the role of both parents in raising children.
The Maternity Leave Directive is stuck with the Council. This diminishes our chances of achieving the Europe 2020 goals. Would the Council agree to a gradual implementation of the directive? What is your stance towards paternity leave? Would you agree on our proposals regarding the length of maternity leave and the level of payments? What is Poland planning to do to facilitate a compromise? We expect a constructive approach from the Council, because we are losing valuable time in achieving true gender equality."@en1
