"I voted for the resolution on equality between women and men in the European Union because gender equality is a fundamental principle of the EU and, in spite of the progress that has been made in this area, many inequalities still remain between women and men. I voted for Amendment 28 because I think that the definition of ‘family’ is a matter of subsidiarity. I voted for the call to Member States to use Structural Funds for the period 2007-2013 to develop child care services to enable both women and men to combine their professional and private lives. Given that women across the EU earn, on average, 17.5% less than men, we have called on Member States to redouble their efforts to implement the European measures with the aim of closing this gap. I voted for the call made to European institutions, Member States and social partners to devise a strategy for tackling the persistent gender pay gap. I voted in favour of introducing legislated parity systems and gender quotas both for parliamentary assemblies and for management positions in companies, public administration and political bodies, taking into account the good practices operating in states like France and Spain."@en1
