".
I voted in favour of the report on gender mainstreaming in the work of the European Parliament. As an advocate of gender equality wherein the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality is conducting its excellent work, Parliament must present an example where it concerns promoting gender equality in its agencies or the administrative structure. I am happy that this is already reflected in the work of many parliamentary committees. It is necessary to make sure that this practice should be not just a nice exception but an ongoing normal mode of operation. With this in mind I also support dual leadership in the political groups, equal gender distribution in the EP governing bodies and at the highest level of the parliamentary administration. I should like to draw your attention, in particular, to paragraph 10 of the adopted resolution whereby the Parliament is calling upon the Commission to address, in a consistent and systematic manner, the issue of gender inequality where it concerns the development and implementation of all political strategies and to ascribe this issue a high priority.
Gender equality must be at the core of all political strategies and must be implemented consistently. Good legislation notwithstanding, an expressed disproportion with respect to gender equality still persists within the European Union – from pay to involvement in management. In each area of life women are separated from men by a gulf. The Commission must unequivocally enforce compliance in this area."@en1
