"Madam President, I am convinced that in light of the demographic trends in Europe, we must place even more emphasis on family support measures. In this uncertain situation that was created by the economic crisis, we must lend even more assistance to families, and one requisite of this is in fact to create more flexible employment conditions for women. Besides respecting the principle of equality between men and women, we must not forget, and I say this as a father of four, that having children demands greater sacrifice from women than from men, even if one only looks at their careers. Some countries have extensive family support practices in place.
However, in others, such as Romania, this field is still in its infancy. We have therefore tabled a motion to the Romanian Government to draft proposals for extensive family support measures. We believe that a successful Europe can only be built if we seek to resolve the issue of our ageing society primarily by increasing birth rates rather than by trying to do it via immigration policy."@en1
