"Entrepreneurs of both genders are, by definition, focused on their business and committed to making a success of what they do. Although women account for a significant proportion of the labour force in the Member States, men still outnumber women as entrepreneurs in the EU. Currently, in fact, EU Member States have each taken different approaches to supporting and promoting women in decision making and in the boardroom. The different support systems that have been developed over time in the Member States address the cultural and individual needs of the country concerned. Faced with this situation, the Commission is administering a voluntary group of women ambassadors in Member States that provide valuable technical support to female entrepreneurs. I agree with the rapporteur that more support should be given to this initiative and that best practices should be shared. There is no denying the valuable contribution that female workers can make both to the community and to the economy of the European Union. Many of them skilfully juggle their career aspirations with their family commitments, which is not easy. I therefore encourage the Member States in all the initiatives they are taking to support and promote projects aimed at women entrepreneurs."@en1
