"Madam President, both my group and I support and take a positive view of the will to increase the representation of women in leadership positions and on company boards, where they are currently still very few in number. Nevertheless, we could not support this report, since proposals have been adopted which support and call for binding targets and legislative measures at European level. The principle of competitiveness on the labour market is fundamental for us. The selection of women for leading roles and their appointment to boards should not happen on the basis of gender, but on the basis of qualifications and appropriate experience. We are opposed to the introduction of binding legislative measures and quotas for women at European level, and we believe that national governments and employers are the ones who can best decide when and in what way they will support the increased participation of women in these positions."@en1
