lpv:translated text	"I am extremely glad that the oral question on extending maternity leave was raised this evening by Ms Estrela, as it is important to follow up on the vote that we had on this issue just one year ago. It is certainly a very ambitious vote, which received a large majority in favour of increasing the minimum maternity leave to 20 weeks on full pay as well as paternity leave. Thoughts on the matter are relatively fluid, given that Member States were granted a certain flexibility regarding the principle of the bridging clause. That said, I regret that we have heard very little from the Council since then. Of course, our Parliament must be realistic and take into consideration the current economic crisis. I would therefore suggest maintaining the principle of full pay but that it is phased over two stages: extending maternity leave firstly to 18 weeks, and subsequently to 20 weeks. I would like to thank you but also remind you not to overlook adoption leave."@en1
