"I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteurs on their reports, which raise the important issue of equal rights. As one of the reports reveals, over 20 million Europeans, mostly women, have limited access to the labour market because they care for dependent adults. We also know how difficult the challenges are facing parents who wish to combine raising children with professional work. I believe that taking concrete steps to reconcile professional and family life is a matter of the utmost importance for both social and economic development in Europe. We need to take measures promoting the creation of local support systems for families caring for children and dependent adults, and to review legislation and make wider use of new technologies in order to remove barriers to flexible forms of employment. I believe that the European Union should make every effort to ensure that the huge potential of its capable and well-educated female citizens is fully unlocked."@en1
