"This report notes the under-representation of women in elected and appointed posts in bodies under national sovereignty and in the European Parliament itself, as well as in what it calls the ‘top jobs’. In order to solve this problem, it advocates the introduction of quota systems promoting parity in these areas. We believe women’s political participation is about the various areas of women’s lives: their participation in organisations, trades unions and culture, and in their daily lives. Women have greater difficulties participating in these areas owing to problems accessing education and culture, but also due to the economic difficulties that are the immediate result of the wage inequalities of which they are victims. Moreover, the result of precarious jobs is that they have little time for social and political participation. The lack of public child care services is another factor contributing to the overburdening of women. It is these structural inequalities that should be combated rather than establishing artificial equality, whilst keeping the real problems of the majority of women off limits. Furthermore, we do not accept any intervention in parties’ internal affairs, as advocated in items 5, 6 and 7; this is a matter that concerns only their members."@en1
