".
Our society cannot at present do without measures aimed at promoting more equal opportunities for women. This is where the European institutions, the European Parliament in particular, can play a role as a pioneer in the world of work as a whole.
Equal treatment for men and women is incorporated in the Treaty establishing the European Communities and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Here, gender mainstreaming is appropriate long-term for integrating gender issues into political and administrative decision-making processes and ensuring equal treatment in all policy areas and at every level.
Speaking as a woman, though, I wish to be judged by my achievements rather than by my gender. The concept of ‘positive discrimination’ is an inherent contradiction, as discrimination cannot be a positive thing. We should therefore be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater."@en1
