"Most of the members of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality have a talent for coming up with own-initiative reports that are unbelievably creative. Surely it is discriminatory to draw up a report on the role of women in the green economy, unless we immediately draw up a similar report on men. I admire the extent of the facts set out, for example, the fact that women consume less than men, regardless of their socio-economic status, even though women are responsible for 80% of the world’s purchasing decisions. Women do not have the same access to transport systems, but this does not apply to the EU. In order for women to participate in the green economy, their sexual and reproductive rights must be ensured. Nor did I know that men had better access to the agricultural technologies needed to access jobs in the green economy. This report calls on the Commission and the Member States to provide a whole string of studies, statistics, programmes and new indicators that take account of climate change, biodiversity, etc. In the absence of details of the financial impact of all of these requests, I voted against the report because it seeks to turn society into a model of an unaffordable, utopian green economy, the consequences of which for growth and employment are unknown."@en1
