"Madam President, I am of course for it, Mr Tarabella. I am for a European directive but I am not for this issue being resolved in this directive, which concerns the protection of women and children. The social partners, as I said, are currently holding talks on a directive on paternity leave. I believe that we must await the outcome. We will then have a sound proposal just like the one we had for parental leave, which, incidentally, we have just enhanced, although it is not perfect. I believe that this is the right way to go. I believe that the social partners should also be entrusted with the task of making proposals in this area, because they are the best placed to do so. Therefore, I am in favour. I congratulate you: you can improve the situation in Belgium. I just wanted to say to you, and to all those women who have completely failed to understand that a European directive is a set of minimum, not maximum, rules, that everyone can go further, but that it is important to give those countries that are below – well below – the 18 weeks the opportunity to adapt. Moreover, I believe that, if you and I had had to draft this report, we would have taken the right measures in this House in codecision with the Council a long time ago."@en1
