"Mr President, Mr Christofias, I wish you the greatest success for the Cypriot Presidency; we all need you to have it. I am rapporteur for the revision of the Maternity Leave Directive, which the European Parliament adopted in October 2010. To date, despite the flexibility demonstrated by Parliament, the Council has not responded to our proposals or expressed interest in even opening an informal dialogue so as to reach a balanced solution that benefits European families. The crisis has been serving as an excuse for those who consider maternity an issue of lesser importance and do not want to reach decisions. There is money for the banks, but there is no money for people. However, the demographic crisis is as serious as the financial crisis. Europe has an old population, which jeopardises social security systems and also economic growth itself. We hope the Cypriot Presidency will be able to break the deadlock on this issue and lead the Council to respond to Parliament."@en1
