"I voted for the resolution on the Statute for a European cooperative society with regard to the involvement of employees because more than 160 000 cooperative societies across Europe provide jobs for approximately 5.4 million people. Cooperative societies create jobs that are of high quality, local, inclusive and resilient to the impact of the crisis, and which, in theory, cannot be relocated. We call on the Commission and Member States to encourage cooperatives to step up their efforts to implement diversity policies in order to guarantee gender equality in professional life and, in particular, increase women’s access to senior management positions. With this in mind, we urge the Commission to include European cooperative societies in any potential European regulation aimed at guaranteeing better representation for women at management levels and on the boards of public and listed companies, in the event that companies do not voluntarily achieve the targets of 30% by 2015 and 40% by 2020. Member States must also promote business support measures, in particular, business consultancy, employee training and access to funding."@en1
