lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I voted in favour of the report, and also in favour of quotas. I wish, with regard to this, to thank Commissioner Reding, for having proposed – or perhaps I should say that she has issued an ultimatum – that she would take action unless there were more women in listed companies a year from now. In fact, in doing this, the Commissioner is only implementing the EU treaties and directives that say that men and women are equal. I know that quotas arouse conflicting feelings, and that they do not represent proper democracy, but neither does this situation that we are in now. In Finland, quotas were introduced at local government level 10 to 15 years ago. They were opposed and seen as something that would cheapen women and it was thought that there were not enough women to fill these positions. The women were found, however, and practice has shown that, in Finland at least, these quotas at local government level work very well."@en1
