"There is still a great deal to be done in terms of establishing equality in Europe. It is disappointing that the balance between women and men on the boards of large European companies remains so uneven. However, we believe that setting statutory quotas to force company owners to select more women for the top positions is the wrong approach to take. Instead, we believe that there are other ways to break down the attitudes and structures that prevent the participation of women, for example, by increasing skill levels, the use of mentoring and better support for women who want to focus on a career. More needs to be done to enable more women to attain top management positions so that they are included in the recruitment base for corporate boards. We also believe that the imbalance in the EU’s own institutions should be dealt with before we legislate in respect of the private sector. We therefore voted against Amendments 1 and 3 to the report on corporate governance. However, the report contains many other good ideas and goals and, therefore, we voted in favour of the report as a whole."@en1
