"Mr President, the economic crisis has underlined the fact that women’s rights and gender equality are interlinked with ongoing economic issues.
In countries that have introduced gender equality-friendly legislation, women’s representation on the labour market tends to be significantly higher, as well as the percentage of birth rate. These states tend to have a healthier economic, social and pension situation. Besides, women’s salaries are of crucial importance in the family.
It is clear that the upcoming EU 2020 strategy needs to outline a clear commitment regarding gender-equality mainstreaming in all European policies. The strategy has to be coordinated with the new roadmap for gender equality and also with the future charter for women’s rights. As my colleague, Marc Tarabella, put forward in his report, women’s health and sexual rights are an equally important tool for women’s socio-economic empowerment as well. We need to provide access to knowledge, information, medical care and assistance to give all women the choice and position of equal rights and access.
I would like to say thank you for the five years I have worked together with Vladimír Špidla, because this is the last chance to say hello to him. Thank you very much for an excellent contribution from you and from your team."@en1
