"Women currently make up 10% of the members of the boards of directors and just 3% of CEOs in the largest listed companies in the European Union. Yet I believe that women can contribute a great deal to corporate governance by providing a different perspective and approach. This report calls on the European Commission to present a comprehensive review of current data on women’s representation in all types of European Union companies as soon as possible, together with information on statutory and voluntary measures in each economic sector and recent measures adopted by Member States in order to boost that representation. If voluntary corporate and national measures fail to deliver results, the report calls on the Commission to propose legislation by 2012, which should include quotas designed to increase the number of women in corporate management bodies to 30% by 2015 and 40% by 2020. Although I feel that measures other than quotas should be our first priority, I have voted in favour of this report so as to clearly endorse its aims."@en1
