lpv:translated text	"Firstly, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Tarabella, for the work he has done. In order to overcome the economic downturn, it is very important to invest in human capital and social infrastructure, creating the conditions for women and men to exploit their full potential. The European Union has now moved closer to the Lisbon Strategy goal of reaching a female employment rate of 60% by 2010. However, female employment varies greatly from one Member State to another. Therefore, the Commission and the Member States must take effective measures to ensure the implementation of the Directive on equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation. Today, men’s and women’s pay in the Member States varies greatly and therefore, we must urgently call on Member States to apply the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’. The Commission has yet to present for debate a proposal related to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women. It is imperative to encourage the equal sharing among men and women of responsibilities in personal and family life and better distribute the time allotted to paid and unpaid work. The Member States must take all possible measures on access to pre-school child care institutions. The matter of paternity leave has yet to be resolved. Therefore, we must find a common solution on the consolidation of this leave in the directive. Moreover, in the Commission’s consultations on the new 2020 strategy, insufficient attention is paid to matters of equality between men and women. Matters of gender equality must be strengthened and integrated in the new strategy. In conclusion, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank the Member of the Commission for our long cooperation in the areas of gender equality, employment and social affairs. Thank you and good luck!"@en1
