"Madam President, women have a more difficult labour market situation because of persistent discrimination against gender and age, with still significant wage gaps, concerns about family care and so on. Furthermore, members of the gentler sex have less ambition in times of crisis to launch their own business. I therefore welcome the rapporteur’s own-initiative report, in that today it is essential to support women in business so that they do not lose motivation and that they feel that they have support for their qualifications, abilities, skills and talent. Personally, I very much welcome the initiative of the Erasmus educational programme, which will be dedicated to the support of young women − future entrepreneurs. I also support the appeal made by our rapporteur to the Member States to seek new sources of funding or subsidies for women − entrepreneurs in particular, so that women have equal opportunities and possibilities to access the same finance and grants as men. Women need to feel that they have support also in the form of advice and assistance in the event of business failure. It would therefore be useful to also focus on the building of platforms at a supranational level for the exchange of knowledge and experience when addressing specific problems."@en1
