"Madam President, I believe that we all agree that the active involvement of women in the European Union’s labour market has a positive impact on the whole of society and the economy, regardless of the industry and place where the activity is carried out, whether in their country of origin or in another Member State.
I think that the measures adopted to tackle the economic and financial crisis at European level should focus greater attention on providing the support that can be given to women wishing to get involved in an economic venture, which also includes encouraging their enterprising spirit. To achieve this, I believe that it would be beneficial to set up specialised organisations for providing training and professional and legal advice, precisely so that women entrepreneurs can become familiar with the necessary procedures and benefit from potential public and private funding available for starting up economic ventures.
I also support the proposal made in the report for applying an EU-level strategy, aimed at offering not only equal job opportunities, but also the smallest possible pay gaps between men and women performing the same job and holding the same qualifications. Otherwise, the opportunity cannot be turned into reality."@en1
