"Mr President, yesterday we did indeed vote on Mrs Estrela’s important report on maternity leave, how long it should be, and the money paid while it lasts. After this vote the media called and asked me a number of times whether I had voted for or against. I said that I had voted for women. I voted for maternity leave to last 18 weeks and for women to receive 75% of their pay. I think that we have a good system in my country, Finland. If they adopted the system that we agreed on yesterday there, the position of women in the labour market would be substantially weaker, because employers would have to continue to agonise over whether they could take young women on, because the costs of maternity leave would increase significantly. Opportunities for women to find work would therefore decline. That is why I wanted to make this statement."@en1
