lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a year ago, I voted here in favour of a 20 week period of maternity leave. We need to ensure that mothers and children everywhere in Europe can benefit from this relatively short period of time, which is invaluable to both. I quite understand that, in the current economic situation, projects that call for new funding pose a challenge. However, when Europe invests in expectant mothers and in children, Europe is investing in its own future. That cannot be measured in terms of money. Children are Europe’s real capital. There will be no life or Europe without new generations. The labour market also needs to be developed coherently, so that women never face discrimination on the basis of motherhood or age. Together, we have to change our attitudes, to make Europe a more humane Europe of people. I hope that the Council will show the understanding and courage needed to make progress in this matter."@en1
