lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Mleczko, we return once again today to the subject of maternity leave. I think we should look at the question of maternity leave from more than just the economic point of view. Naturally, it is important that working women who are on maternity leave should be given the financial resources to maintain their families. Also important is the question as to how businesses will manage with these additional expenses in a situation in which it is they who are going to bear the costs of the allowances for mothers. How can we avoid causing a situation in which employers, worried about the costs, avoid employing young women who are planning to become mothers? These are very important questions and I understand that it is precisely these questions which differentiate the positions of the Member States in the Council and are making it difficult to reach a shared position. However, in all this let us nevertheless not forget those who, in my opinion, are the most important – the children. For the child and for the woman, the time after a baby is born is the only time which a mother can fully devote to her child. Furthermore, if the European Union is to achieve the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and avoid the consequences of the demographic decline, new compromise measures have to be introduced. Perhaps a little less ambitious than those which Parliament has demanded. Perhaps we should go back to the European Commission’s proposal? I appeal to the Member States to think again about the possibility of guaranteeing all mothers in Europe a compromise of 18 weeks with their new-born children. Mr Mleczko, do you think a measure such as this has a chance of securing a majority in the Council, so that we could, in fact, ensure 18 weeks of maternity leave on full pay for all future mothers in Europe?"@en1
