lpv:translated text	"I am happy to support the report by Ms in ’t Veld on gender equality. Even now, the gap between the position and status of women and men is wide in a number of European countries. We still have a gender pay gap, with women earning an average of 17.5% less than men, and a lack of representation of women in politics and on company boards. Only 12% of executives of major listed companies are women. These are problems which, if necessary, must be addressed through legislation and quotas. Targets and quotas should, however, respect the specificities of each country accordingly. The report contains several recommendations on abortion which I do not support, as can be seen from my vote on each of the respective amendments. However, I feel the report is an important and valuable contribution to advancing women’s rights and gender equality in society."@en1
