lpv:translated text	"− I would commend Croatia for the substantial progress achieved in attaining the benchmarks needed to conclude the accession negotiations. I strongly believe that Croatia’s swift accession will contribute to encouraging the rest of the countries in the Western Balkans to implement accession-related reforms. I welcome the efforts of the Croatian Government to take a strong stance against all forms of corruption, but call on the Croatian authorities to further strengthen the administrative capacities of anti-corruption bodies and to foster a culture of political accountability. I welcome the progress made in the area of women’s rights and gender equality, as some 25% of parliamentary seats and almost half of administrative positions in the public sector are held by women, demonstrating the progress towards gender equality. However, the percentage of women occupying positions of business leadership remains low and gender wage differences persist. I call for further active promotion of the participation of women in economic and political decision-making bodies, and for swift implementation of the Gender Equality Law, including the principle of equal pay."@en1
