lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, if we are to achieve the ambitious objectives set in Lisbon and make the EU a knowledge-based economic area and the most competitive and dynamic in the world, we must first step on the accelerator, then define its target groups more clearly, and finally apply the instruments with greater consistency. If the proportion of women in employment is to be increased to 60% by 2010, the Member States will have to become more pro-active – as they did when combating youth unemployment – and set benchmarks, in order to promote women in the seminal information technologies. Their share still ranges only between 10% and 20%, with the percentage of women owning small and medium-sized enterprises under 20%. The representation of women at the top in business management is only 10% at most. What has become of their impetus? Although the structural regulations include equal treatment of women as a priority and the strategy framework on gender mainstreaming holds remedies in readiness, women earn, varying between countries and business sectors, between 20% and 30% less than their male colleagues. Young women expect much from Europe and are demanding flexible child care facilities, and, Mr President-in-Office, so are the children's fathers, because they share responsibilities and want to combine work and family life. European initiatives such as lifelong learning and Community initiatives such as EQUAL take this into account. Now is the time for further steps to be taken. New forms need to be created, and we do not want women to be disappointed, as they are by the Convention, where, unfortunately, only 20% of the delegates are women."@en1
