"Mr President, last night I had a dream. I dreamt that three Members of the European Parliament were enjoying having dinner together. They were Mrs Maria Martens, Mrs Mercedes Echerer and Mrs Miet Smet. I suppose there is something in each of them that I admire. In this dream, Mrs Martens said: ‘God and DNA have laid down through the law of nature that there should be complete equality between men and women.’ Indeed, as you know, Mr President, equal numbers of men and women are born into the world: the world’s population is made up of 50% men and 50% women. This is a divine law and a law of nature. Therefore, what is stopping us adopting a law which makes it a statutory requirement for equal proportions of men and women to be elected, for equal proportions of men and women to be employed and for women to have exactly the same rights as men?"@en1
