"First of all I welcome the communications from the Council and the Commission. We all agree that there will never be true gender equality until there is a way to reconcile work and family life, both for women and for men.
It is essential that men should share family responsibilities and that women should be able to have a career. For that to happen, the Member States must urgently establish networks of high-quality, affordable childcare facilities available at appropriate times.
It is lamentable that in 2007, the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All, we are still a long way off the Barcelona targets, and yet, with our ageing population and falling birth rates, the European Union needs as many adults in the job market as possible, and that means more women.
We are eagerly looking forward to the document on this subject that Commissioner Špidla announced here for 2008."@en1
