"Mr President, I also wish to congratulate the rapporteur for her work and her open disposition, which has allowed us all to transform the general duty of companies in terms of respect for the principle of equality between working women and men into specific measures.
Her report includes measures to guarantee equal opportunities in terms of access to employment, training and professional promotion; measures to respect women’s and men’s employment rights, including – and this must be emphasised – protection against sexual harassment; and measures to enhance the reconciliation of personal and family life and employment relations.
Perhaps, however, the most novel contributions have been, firstly, power-sharing measures: this could, for example, produce a balanced number of women and men on company boards and in all decision-making posts in line with the new law introduced in my country, Spain.
Secondly, there is the recommendation that each company implement its own negotiated equality plan. This makes it a key report for a strategic sector for the European Union."@en1
