"Mr President, it is a fact that there are still occupations where women are more strongly represented than men, and that this is a direct result of the gender stereotypes that, even in this day and age, still dominate society. I also agree that women are often less valued than men for the same work and that, in addition to horizontal segregation, we also have vertical segregation in the labour market.
In my opinion, we should not talk about the service sector in terms of occupations with low social status and low social prestige. I firmly believe that our society values jobs such as teaching, care services and the like, and is aware that these jobs are irreplaceable.
I am generally opposed to excessive legal regulation, and even though I agree with many of the issues in the report overall, such as support for flexible working hours and child care, I cannot agree to the development of new proposals at EU level that will regulate this area very tightly.
We must not lose sight of the fact that, in services provided to households and private child care services, for example, there are many specialised small firms that are not currently able to adapt to the regulations demanded by this report."@en1
