lpv:translated text	"I chose to support the report by my colleague, Mrs Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou, on women and business leadership. I am pleased to see that the report contains proposals on improving the number of women on the management boards of leading listed companies. In particular, I appreciate the fact that the Commission is invited to propose legislation containing quotas by 2012 in order to make progress on this subject. My country, France, has established quotas which have already produced very positive results. I feel that it is important to promote gender equality on management boards in order to create real equal career opportunities within companies. We also need to recognise women’s skills, and how their talents can contribute to business management. Above all, I believe that we urgently need to remedy the iniquitous pay differential whereby women earn 17% less than men, which I feel is an aberration. Perception of women in the workplace has to change: our economy cannot afford to ignore the potential for development and competitiveness that parity, equal gender representation and equal opportunities can provide."@en1
