"When voting today, I endorsed many key provisions in the report on equality between women and men in the European Union – 2010. I would like to draw particular attention to the issue of parity in business.
This is an important step towards ensuring that women’s positions are equal to men’s at the level of company management. Our goal is not to make gender the only criterion to be taken into account when appointing people to sit on boards of directors. We are, however, interested in ensuring that ambitious women whose qualifications are equal to those of their male rivals are selected for positions normally held only by men, because, as research shows, this may contribute to better and more sustainable management of companies and, as a result, to better financial results."@en1
