"Mr President, we have a saying in our country which goes: ‘Let us stop splitting hairs’. The calls which we have heard in the Chamber, in other words, Parliament’s readiness to conduct some compromise negotiations with the Council on reducing the duration of maternity leave below 20 weeks is ‘hair-splitting’.
This leave cannot be less than 20 weeks. This is not really a very great requirement; it is not even a minimum requirement. I will finish what my colleague, Ms Iotova, was not able to say. In Bulgaria, 100% paid leave is given for 410 days, along with another year on the minimum wage. I myself am currently expecting my first child and I can tell you that, if the amount of fully paid maternity leave had been less, I would not have managed to convince my wife for us to have this child right now.
Therefore, Mr Mleczko, tell us whether you will submit this issue for a radical solution, or will the Council continue to beat about the bush in a populist manner?"@en1
