"Madam President, I voted against the in ’t Veld report on equality between men and women in the EU. The report, of course, has many positive elements on gender equality which I support, such as work in the field of preventing domestic violence, forced marriages, female genital mutilation, discrimination in the workplace and unequal pay for the same work.
However, the references, for example, to maternity leave, forced paternity leave at EU level, quotas for women on the board of directors, pension rights, and a kind of EU-level criminal-law sanctions approach to combating gender-based violence are a step too far in my view and they caused me to vote against it.
Lastly, matters to do with abortion are a personal conscience matter and, in my view, should be dealt with under subsidiarity by national parliaments and national governments and individual MPs, not MEPs."@en1
