"Mr President, back in 2010, there was a discussion involving all the groups which warned, among other things, about the burdens that are imposed in times of crisis. This may be even more applicable today. However, it is important that we make a clear commitment at a high level to maternity and paternity leave. Therefore, now is the right time to take a pragmatic approach. We must find the best possible solution using what is on the table in front of us.
One approach could be not to opt for the maximum solution, but instead to choose the best possible standard solution, in other words, a minimum standard which could be established from the bottom upwards, so to speak, for the whole of Europe, before we start to discuss extending it. However, it is also important for us to look in more detail at what is happening in the Member States. In Austria, for example, there is a separate law governing paternity leave. I am not yet confident that all these aspects will be adequately taken into account. Until now, the focus has been exclusively on the provisions for maternity leave. In other words, in the current situation, we must investigate the proposals pragmatically and calmly and work actively towards a dialogue between Parliament and the Council."@en1
