lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this proposal is about the equal treatment of women and men in access to, and supply of, services, particularly about the actuarial problems in insurance services. It is therefore not logical for the Committee on Women's Rights and Equal Opportunities to have been allocated this report. It has replaced the principle of equal treatment by equality of men and women, but that is not the issue. The consequence of this change is that the text lacks coherence. For example, Amendment No 19 stipulates that there shall be no sex discrimination, including less favourable treatment, also as a result of paternity. There should also be equal treatment in the insurance industry, so that life expectancy on the basis of sex alone should no longer play a role in calculating insurance premiums. The calculation of risks on the basis of life expectancy is based on outdated information and according to other male and female role models. The premiums should therefore be based on solidarity between men and women. The fact is that there is a greater variation within the group of men or women than there is between men and women. There is, admittedly, a significant difference between men and women statistically speaking, but this can be explained historically. In the future, the increasing similarity in lifestyle and occupational pursuits will mean that this statistically significant difference will not necessarily continue to exist."@en1
