"The Gustafsson report focuses on the gender balance within this institution; I believe it sends out a positive message about equality. I have always made it clear that I do not believe in prescriptive and patronising targets and quotas for women that come from Europe, we women deserve better than that. But I and the ECR Group are fully committed to raising the problem of the lack of women in the top posts in this parliament. As elected members we are law makers, our staff both, political and non-political are involved in the policies we make; it is right that we have women in the top positions of this Parliament. Two days ago the British Prime Minister announced that he was going to appoint a senior female adviser to assess the impact of every Government policy on women. This appointment highlights just how committed the British Government is to ensuring gender equality throughout all policies made by the UK Government. The ECR Group is strongly opposed to any budget increase at this delicate time for Europe’s economy, therefore we asked for split votes on paragraphs 2G, 4 and 6 – we voted against those references to the budget and funding."@en1
