"Madam President, this report contains some positive statements regarding domestic violence, female genital mutilation and forced marriages, all of which made it difficult to vote against the report.
I acknowledge the gender pay gap is still very real and it is an unjust fact of today’s employment market. I do not underestimate the need to encourage more women into politics. However, it is difficult to support a report that calls for an EU-dictated maternity and paternity leave proposal, which is both damaging to women and small businesses and is socially regressive. It supports targets and quotas at EU level and it meddles in pensions and social security measures, a red line in my view.
Unfortunately, there are too many areas I cannot support and these drown out all the good the report can do. I was therefore forced to vote against this report."@en1
