"Although women account for 60% of all university graduates, they are under-represented in full-time work in the labour market, particularly in the field of business. This own-initiative report stresses that men and women do not have the same opportunities to run and develop companies and proposes concrete measures to remedy this situation. I therefore voted in favour of this report, since it encourages, inter alia, the European Union to invest in female entrepreneurship and female SMEs as a key source of jobs, for example, through special grants, venture capital, interest rate rebates and social security provisions. It also calls for stereotypes to be broken and for the obstacles met by women wishing to start their own business to be removed; it calls on the Commission to run a campaign promoting women’s involvement in work by means of setting up their own companies; it seeks to raise women’s awareness of the ‘Erasmus for young entrepreneurs’ programme; and it encourages the implementation of policies enabling women to achieve an adequate work-life balance."@en1
