lpv:translated text	"In many recitals and paragraphs of this extremely long resolution, we are stating the obvious. We are calling for measures that were, fortunately, taken some time ago. It is true that certain directives on equal treatment and opportunities between women and men have been poorly applied, but if discrimination still remains in the areas covered by this set of measures, who is at fault? All these directives contain appeal mechanisms. Women who have experienced discrimination need only go to court, where they will win their case, as demonstrated in many cases in my country, thankfully. Unfortunately, this report contains a number of incongruous claims that bear no relation to the role of women in industry. Asking for a 40% quota of female representation on company boards is interference contrary to the principle of subsidiarity in issues reserved for Member States. It is not for us to call for the ‘monitoring’ of company delocalisation. It is utopian to demand ‘more choice in the workplace’. If my company is based in the city of Luxembourg and has no other branches, I cannot put in a request to work in Schifflange where I live. I voted for this report in accordance with these observations."@en1
