"Firstly, I would like to thank and congratulate the rapporteur, Mrs Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou, who has succeeded over months of tough negotiations in drafting a report on the subject of women and business leadership which, to a large extent, is very balanced and deserves our support. I would like to explain briefly why I voted against paragraph 1 and paragraph 16b. The figures on the proportion of women in management positions are shameful. Therefore, I am fully convinced that we finally need to take targeted measures to bring about a significant increase in this proportion. However, I feel that the calls made in paragraph 1 and paragraph 16b go too far. I do not believe that we should intervene in the operational management of businesses or set quotas even for the board of directors. Therefore, we should first of all call on companies to take voluntary measures. In particular, I think that 2012 is far too early for the introduction of legislative provisions and quotas. However, in order to send out a clear political signal that something needs to be done urgently and, at the same time, to support the efforts made by Mrs Kroes, I have voted in favour of the resolution as a whole."@en1
