"We are all well aware of the fact that very few women hold corporate management positions or directorships. Given the growing number of working women with a university degree, one might expect to find similar numbers occupying managerial positions, but that is not the case.
This report, produced by my colleague, Mrs Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou, is a step in the right direction, and that is why I supported it. It stresses that Member States need to take measures to allow women to achieve a better work-life balance, not least by proving high-quality, affordable services such as child care.
I am pleased to see that the report also suggests establishing quotas for corporate decision-making bodies. As you know, a few weeks ago, the Belgian Parliament adopted legislation making it mandatory for one-third of the members of the management boards of public undertakings and listed companies to be women. Belgium is a trailblazer in this area, as are France and Norway."@en1
