lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank Ms Estrela for her work. To be honest. I do not understand the concerns of many Member States with regard to the costs of extending maternity leave and paying a full salary. Indeed, in my view, the economic crisis should not be an excuse to sweep aside fundamental rights. As a mother, I know that it is essential for women to be able to count on maternity leave also because, for cultural reasons that are hard to eradicate and a lack of adequate child care, women are responsible for over 80% of the care of elderly and disabled people, as well as their children, with inevitable consequences in terms of employment and career. In addition, the growing phenomenon of single mothers, which we talked about yesterday and today, should not be underestimated since single mothers account for 85% of single-parent families. The phenomenon is also a matter for further concern because only 69% of single mothers are employed and, on average, 18% of single mothers only work part-time, which means that single mothers are a category more at risk of poverty and unemployment. I will conclude by saying that, in my view, maternity leave forms the foundation of the reconciliation between family life and professional life. Therefore, we certainly cannot take a step backwards on this basic objective. Finally, I would like to add that leave should obviously not be restricted to women, but that fathers must also be able to take up this opportunity."@en1
