"Mr President, in connection with this report, I would like to voice my support for the successful Erasmus programme, which encourages mobility and multilingualism among university students. I would also like to emphasise that, in order for Europe to confront the ever fiercer competition on Asian markets, we must exploit every possible potential in science, research and the engineering professions. I am thinking here mainly of the unused potential of women who work in higher education and women who work in science.
There is no convincing reason in our century why, in the selection of a field of study and subsequently on the labour market as well, gender-based horizontal segregation should still persist. Perhaps this is because, even in higher education and in science, we often encounter traditional notions of the division of gender roles, which then become an accepted social norm.
I firmly believe, however, that we will not break away from the prevailing structures and traditional notions on the basis of quotas. These ideas have unfortunately been incorporated into the opinion on this report on behalf of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality, for which I was a rapporteur, but I must say here that I am fundamentally opposed to these mandatory measures."@en1
