lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I want to thank the Commission for coming forward with this proposal on work-life balance for parents and carers. From a personal perspective, I am especially pleased to see the proposal for paid carers’ leave. Back in 2005 I co-founded the European Parliament Interest Group on Carers with former colleague Kathy Sinnott, and since then I have either chaired or co-chaired that group with some of the colleagues, many of whom having spoken in today’s debate. On very many different occasions the Carers Interest Group has called for a carers’ leave directive and indeed that call has been repeatedly supported by Parliament, and today we have a proposal on the table. Also, Commissioner Thyssen, your proposal on flexible working arrangements should help family carers to find the work-life balance that will allow them to continue to care. Today, we are taking a step towards Social Europe and while we still have a long way to go, I for one am pleased that we have made a start and I look forward to working on these proposals in Parliament."@en1
