"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteurs. For the Committee on Women’s Rights (FEMM), it is important that gender issues are treated seriously in the area of cohesion policy, because this represents a very significant slice of EU expenditure. Women are essential to the success of any regional policy.
We have focused in our report on some of the challenges facing women in the labour market. Historically, women are more adversely affected by unemployment than men. The gender pay gap should be narrowing rapidly, but it is not. Women are still struggling for equality of opportunities in science and technology, as the Vozemberg report – which we will also be voting on tomorrow – shows. This must improve. Single mothers have additional difficulties in all these areas. The FEMM opinion takes the perspective that job creation is the objective, not the activity. We voted for an opinion that proposed measures and conditions that will assist job creation."@en1
