"Mr President, Mr Mleczko, it is not the case that we are starting from nothing. We should always remember that we in Europe have a good minimum standard in comparison with many other countries. Regardless of that, the Commission has submitted a new proposal. It is simply a result of the timing that the situation with regard to equality has changed. Therefore, the Commission proposal was a wise move, a step forward, which sent out a clear signal, but, at the same time, it was sufficiently moderate, at 18 weeks and 75%, that it would have been practicable.
Unfortunately, I can only agree with the other speaker. Here in the European Parliament, a small majority put together a huge wish list. At the moment, it is sadly the case that we must either stick with this wish list or get nothing. I would like to make it quite clear to you that I would rather we took the new Commission proposal as our basis, so that we can at least move forward. Each individual country can then decide whether to add other provisions. Then it will be up to every individual Member State to raise its own standards even further."@en1
