"The upcoming Council meeting is indeed a very important one. President Herman Van Rompuy, in his public invitation letter, notes that ‘as an important step in the new framework of the European semester, we should give guidance for national economic policies with a view to implementing our Europe 2020 Strategy’. We should not bypass this point on the agenda as secondary behind the economic package. Everybody knows that the key to European economic growth is employment. The Europe 2020 Strategy aims at an employment rate of 75% among men and women aged between 20-64. Everybody knows, in theory, that this 75% threshold will not be attained without the massive participation and appearance of women on the labour market.
Therefore, I ask two things of the Council ahead of its upcoming meeting. The first one is to be ambitious and explicit when it comes to employment guidelines, and especially when it comes to female employment. Secondly, I ask you to reaffirm your commitment to European targets and guidelines that allow for the massive participation of women on the labour market, especially the Barcelona targets for daytime childcare, which we know, are far from being met in the EU."@en1
