lpv:translated text	"While I am a firm advocate of the principle of equality, I do not think greater representation of women in politics should be achieved by means of strict quotas. Without this solution, and on the basis of their own merit, there have been extraordinary women who have left their mark on the histories of their countries and the world; with no pretence of an exhaustive list, I recall Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir and Indira Ghandi. I also recall Simone Veil, the first woman President of this House. In view of this, I do not believe that strict quotas guarantee women equal access to a profession, to political office, or to management and leadership roles in business. It is more important to guarantee women equal resources and opportunities. In conclusion, I would re-emphasise that initiatives in this area should be a Member State competence and that the principle of subsidiarity should be respected."@en1
