"On 5 April 2011, the European Commission published the Green Paper on the EU corporate governance framework, which was intended to analyse the effectiveness of the present model for European companies and how to make them easier to govern. I am voting for this report because it is intended to foster a growing relationship between a company’s board and all stakeholders, such as shareholders, suppliers and customers; to include independent individuals on boards of directors; to adopt transparent measures and merit criteria as regards human resources, so as to enhance staff’s skills and talents; and to safeguard an appropriate work/life balance. I agree with the rapporteur that corporate governance rules should not be too rigid, but a number of core measures should be enshrined in all companies, whilst bearing in mind the size, complexity and business activity of each individual company. There should be periodic financial audits and external evaluations, since these are useful instruments for evaluating the effectiveness of corporate governance. I would take this opportunity to stress that I disagree with the proposal of women’s quotas on corporate boards, since I do not believe they need such subterfuge to demonstrate their skills, qualifications and business knowledge."@en1
