lpv:translated text	"Female participation in political activities involving decision making is alarmingly low. I have voted in favour of the report as it proposes a change to the current situation and promotes gender parity in decision-making processes. For this objective to be achieved, there should be direct involvement of the political parties in Europe through the introduction of quota systems for candidate lists and elections, for example, or through a system that alternates the first position on the list between female and male candidates. The report also stresses the need for national parliaments and the European Parliament to adopt specific measures to promote gender parity. I believe that the Commission’s actions to this effect represent great progress. To ensure that these actions are implemented satisfactorily, however, resources have to be provided to the political parties that wish to undertake campaigns to promote greater female participation in decision making. Given that next year will be devoted to European citizens, it is a tremendous opportunity to promote and fund actions that defend women’s rights in the Union."@en1
