"Madam President, our motto should be ‘from words to deeds’.
The 2020 programme advocates equality to overcome the crisis. European companies hardly have any women on their boards of administration, although different studies show that their presence brings these companies innovation, improved management and profits. Women train more than men and achieve better academic results. However, men occupy 90% of the seats on the boards of stock-exchange listed companies and chair 90% of the boards.
In order to even out these figures, we need measures that have produced results where they have been applied and the resolution adopted today will contribute to this. I do not support the reference in the report to competent and qualified women because the small percentage of women who succeed to positions of responsibility do satisfy those aspects and also because do you know any text in the world with that requirement for men, who take up 90% and 97% of the figures? Are they all competent and qualified?
If we want to achieve equality, let us change the language and the paradigm."@en1
