"Mr President, I would like to make a personal statement. I must protest against what the spokesperson for the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party said when she stated that the position of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats on parental leave is a poor position.
I must tell her – and no, I do not know the name of the Member in question and I apologise for not knowing – I must tell her that, if she had read carefully what is proposed in Mrs Hautala’s recommendation for second reading, she would not be able to make these accusations.
I do not know if my fellow Member from the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left has also misinterpreted the amendments, because the text on the distinct right to paternity leave…
Yes, but I must say this, Mr President! She has made accusations against us. These Members have misunderstood the text, and personally speaking, I cannot tolerate a situation when we are criticised about paternal leave, because what is said on the right to parental leave – which we support, Mr President – is exactly what the Council says. Therefore, why criticise my group because we are in favour of paternal leave? We have said this, and the text is the same as the text from the Council.
Mr President, I cannot tolerate a situation where two accusations are made against us by the spokespersons of the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party and the Confederal Group of the European United Left. Perhaps they should read the documents!"@en1
