"Madam President, I would like to thank Commissioners Reding and Andor for their strong commitments on these important issues. I would also like to thank all my colleagues for their strong messages on this important debate today.
First of all, I would like to say that gender equality is not only a matter of social justice; it is also a matter for progress and we need to build together a fair society for all of us. Next, I would like to say that I strongly support quotas. Yes, we need women in top positions, but let us not forget poverty. We have to tackle and we have to prevent and reduce poverty and we need concrete measures. Preventing and reducing poverty is an important component of social solidarity and I strongly believe in women’s solidarity. We need support for all citizens; we need support from the whole of society and I would like to thank the NGOs, the social partners and all women and men in society who are fighting year by year, day by day, to achieve gender equality.
We have to make this gender equality become a reality. We can accelerate on the track today; together, let us make things happen. And once again, I wish all women happy days."@en1
