"Madam President, the current economic and financial crisis has aggravated the problem of precarious women workers. Since they often have to balance work and family commitments, they find themselves in a weaker bargaining position, which often leads to their having worse working conditions. I voted for this report because I agree with the need to combat this problem by calling on the Member States and social partners to align to a large extent their legislative and contractual rules on standard work and atypical work, without underestimating the real risk of a possible increase in undeclared work. We therefore call on the Commission and all the Member States to develop concrete new strategies on precarious work that take the principle of gender balance into account. This report also urges the Commission to submit a proposal relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women. We must remind the Member States to transpose Directive 2006/54/EC without further delay. We therefore call on the Member States to facilitate the development of childcare and care networks and to implement all the measures designed to allow women who so choose to work full time, thus improving their labour market participation and economic independence."@en1
