lpv:translated text	"The facts are now clear: throughout their working lives, women still find it difficult to reach the top of professional hierarchies. On average, women in Europe still earn 17.5% less than men, only 12% of executives are women, and only 3% of executive board chairpersons are women. Equality between men and women is not only a democratic imperative and a boost for the necessary fight against all forms of discrimination, but also an economic necessity and a social requirement. Thus, I support the measures contained in this resolution, notably relating to the adoption of new laws, if the Member States do not honour their commitments in terms of imposing quotas to consolidate female representation in corporate management bodies, with the aim of increasing this representation to 30% by 2015 and to 40% by 2020. Nevertheless, I had to abstain from the vote on this resolution, even though I share many of its conclusions, due to the doggedness of a number of my colleagues. They wish to forcibly impose opinions relating to the subsidiarity and culture of each Member State, whether on the sensitive issues of abortion or the definition of family."@en1
