lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this European Parliament report because there is an imbalance in participation by women and men in political and public decision making and clear under-representation of women in elected and nominated political positions at European Union and Member State level. The persistent under-representation of women is a democratic deficit that undermines the legitimacy of decision making at both EU and national level. The European Parliament therefore invites the Council, the Commission and the Member States to draw up and implement effective gender equality policies and multifaceted strategies for achieving parity in participation in political decision making and leadership at all levels. Moreover, the Council, the Commission and the Member States should enforce parity at all levels by sending clear anti-discrimination messages, by providing appropriate resources, by using specific tools, and by promoting necessary training for civil servants responsible for preparing budgets in gender budgeting. In its report, the European Parliament also calls on the Council, Commission and Member States to enable women and men to take an active part in political decision making by promoting reconciliation and a balance between family life and working life by means of measures such as sharing the costs of parenthood equally between both parents’ employers and ensuring accessible and adequate care services for children and the elderly, for instance."@en1
