Som formand for et af de største kvindeforbund i Tyskland, foreningen for tyske landbokvinder, har jeg aldrig hørt til de begejstrede fortalere for juridiske tiltag for at gennemføre kvinders ligeberettigelse.
Positive actions have been taken in favour of the less-represented sex, at present the female sex, leading us to argue that the European Union tended to give women guarantees, that there were people who were fighting in order to give them more opportunities, so that they could achieve natural and fair equality.
Men også kvinder i landdistrikterne høster den erfaring, at man ganske vist roser deres evner og gerne gør brug af deres flid, men kun reagerer meget langsomt, når det handler om at inddrage dem på lige fod i det politiske arbejde og vælge dem til diverse hverv.
This opinion of the Court of Justice goes against the current of present-day thinking on this matter, against what was accomplished in Beijing and the very hopes and expectations of European women.
Praksis har hidtil vist med al ønskelig tydelighed, at selv kvalificerede kvinder ikke kommer i betragtning på samme måde som mandlige kolleger, når det drejer sig om at besætte karriere- og ledelsesposter.
Given this situation I would ask the Commission whether it is willing to revise the directive in question and put in black and white an article calling for measures of positive discrimination to be possible and desirable?
Hr. kommissær, deler Kommissionen min opfattelse, at kvinder, der varetager familiemæssige opgaver, som regel har endnu færre chancer for en erhvervskarriere?
I should like to call upon my colleagues in the European Parliament to propose that the agenda of the 1996 IGC should include discussion on whether a new article should be included in the Treaty on the right to equality as a fundamental right to which all Europeans can and must aspire.
Jeg henviser også til det, der sker i Amerika med affirmative action. Også dér bliver fortrinsbehandlingen af sorte i øjeblik ket bragt i fare. Der hersker en meget besynderlig stemning i denne sag.
Given the situation that I have described in brief, this judgment is then very serious and worrying.
Den, der mener det alvorligt med ligebehandling, må have modet til at se såvel på menneskers udgangsposition som på slutresultatet.
We have therefore to be resolute and persevere with our action to promote equality of opportunity.
Til min kollega, Brian Crowley, som desværre ikke er her, til Kjer Hansen, til Ana Palacio, vil jeg gerne sige, at den, der ikke ser dette, kun forsvarer de enkelte stærke og ikke den store gruppe af kvinder, der får lov at blive siddende under osteklokken.
Its failure to approve it gives a negative signal because it implies that it is not only the courts that are trying to impede an ongoing process but that the Council itself is reversing a forward-looking approach, although the European Union has so far acted decisively and stimulated action by the Member States.
Kommissær Flynn, jeg har med interesse lyttet til Deres forslag om at ændre direktivet således, at ligebehandling fortsat skal være mulig, og at de medlemsstater, der vil gå videre, kan gå videre.
The European Parliament will not only be monitoring this issue, it will be encouraging the Commission and the Council to move in this direction.
Alligevel vil jeg sige til Dem, tænk Dem om, før De går i gang; jeg ser gerne, at Den Europæiske Union går i brechen for kvoter og midlertidige fortrinsregler og ikke blot i de medlemsstater, der er interesse rede i det, men som et princip, således som vi forsvarede det i Peking.
Jöns (PSE). — (DE) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first I want to give warm thanks to you, Mr Flynn, and to you, Madam President-in-Office, for your statements today, which give us hope and encouragement.
På frivillig basis er der næsten ingen ændringer sket med hensyn til ansvarsfulde stillinger.
The European Court of Justice's decision relates in particular to paragraph 4 of the Bremen Land equality law and therefore also to my constituency.
Crawley (PSE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg glæder mig også over hr. Flynns bidrag og over, at han kom til Udvalget om
Waddington (PSE). — Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, we find inequality everywhere.
Kvinders Rettigheder sidste uge meget hurtigt efter dommen.
The competitors try to smash their opponent's conker to smithereens.
Jeg takker også den spanske rådsformand for hendes bidrag.
But there are many areas where women can compete in the world of work.
aktuelle tankegang, i strid med de resultater, der opnåedes i Beijing, og med de europæiske kvinders håb og forventninger.
Unless positive action is taken in those areas the inequality that we experience will exist for centuries.
På denne baggrund spørger jeg Kommissionen, om den er rede til at revidere det pågældende direktiv og indføje en artikel, hvor det sort på hvidt fastslås, at positiv særbehandling er mulig og ønskværdig?
It has also been suggested, very properly and fairly, that the Court's judgment is not an entirely simple one, despite the fact that it amounts to only five pages.
Rådet anmoder jeg om at oplyse, om det er rede til at godkende enten denne ændring eller den ændring af traktaten, som fru Dury har foreslået?
Very often a lot of ambiguity and matters of very important consequence can be enshrined in such very short judgments.
Der kan ikke være nogen tvivl om, at kendelsen fra Domstolen i sidste uge underkender gyldigheden af love om positiv særbehandling.
I am waiting for the analysis from the legal services, and they have given me an undertaking that it will be dealt with urgently.
Selv i de lande i Den Europæiske Union, hvor positiv særbehandling ikke er lovfæstet, såsom Det Forenede Konge­rige, vil Kalanke­kendelsen bevirke, at god personaleforvalt­ning, der styrker ansættelsen af kvinder i erhvervsvirksomhe­der og i det offentlige, svækkes af tøven og usikkerhed.
It only appears to have ruled illegal the sort of regime in which a woman can have an automatic right in certain circumstances to be appointed to a particular job.
Uden positiv særbehandling for at opmuntre kvinder til at besætte flere beslutningstagende stillinger på arbejdspladserne må kvinder vente i flere tiår, før det demokratiske underskud — ulighedsunderskuddet — bliver fjernet.
We are now informed that some positive action taken in some countries is illegal and that all the work that we have undertaken here in the European Union and in many of our countries will be judged as being something that should no longer be undertaken.
Skal vore døtres døtre virkelig stå på dette sted i år 2050 og råbe på større lighed i erhvervslivet, ved domstolene og i det offentlige liv?
This, in my opinion, is an important and crucial time.
Er det det ekko, vi kommer til at høre ned igennem flere tiår på grund af denne kendelse?
We call upon Commissioner Flynn to act speedily in this situation.
EF­Domstolens afgørelsen angår specielt stk. 4 i Bremens ligestillingslov og dermed også min valgkreds.
That was very much the point made by Mrs Gröner, Mrs Crawley and Mrs Boogerd-Quaak.
Jeg må sige, at vi i Bremen overhovedet ikke kan finde forståelse for denne afgørelse, og det gælder ikke blot kvinderne.
They made the very good point that we must examine it because, in fact, it may be that the ruling weakens the momentum towards equality that we have all begun to recognize in recent times.
For loven gjaldt jo kun, når kvalifikationerne var ens, dvs. i en situation, hvor vi lige så godt kunne have slået plat eller krone.
Certain persons, I have to say, would be only too happy to exaggerate the extent of the Court's prohibition.
Desuden skal man ved ens kvalifikationer jo uanset træffe en beslutning på en eller anden måde.
That is why it is important to clarify the situation as soon as possible.
Jeg opfordrer hr. Flynn til at fortælle os, at han vil fremlægge et nyt direktiv, der kan erstatte det eksisterende direktiv om ligebehandling fra 1976, eller at han vil forsøge at indbygge princippet om fortrinsstilling, så det ikke er ulovligt, i trakta­tændringen i 1996.
Ahlqvist (PSE). — (SV) Mr President, Commissioner, President-in-Office, ladies and gentlemen, according to the EC Court of Justice, positive discrimination in favour of women is prohibited.
Ellers, hr. Flynn, vil Parlamentet gå i aktion under artikel 138 Β og officielt opfordre Dem til at fremlægge lovgivning.
It would be very unfortunate if its judgment in the Kalanke case were to be applied against countries which currently operate in this way in order to achieve a more even distribution of the sexes in employment.
Torres Marques (PSE). — (PT) Fru rådsformand, indled­ningsvis takker jeg Dem for Deres indlæg, som vidner om stor styrke og stor sympati for vores sag.
Swedish experience has shown positive action to be a very effective way of breaking down the gender segregation which regrettably prevails in many sectors of industry and society.
Jeg vil ligeledes takke kommissær Flynn for hans indlæg i denne debat.
In Sweden we have had an equal opportunities law since 1980, whose provisions have been tightened up several times and which now offers scope for positive action.
Da mandstribunalen i Luxembourg nu imidlertid har vedtaget, at fremmen af kvinders lige muligheder skal være begrænset til at skabe lige startbetingelser, men ikke at tage stilling til den faktiske ligestilling, opfordrer jeg Kommissionen og især Dem, hr. Flynn, til omgående at præcisere direktiv 76/207 EØF, således at det også fremover er tilladt at anvende den præslationsrelaterede kvote for at gøre det muligt for os kvinder at opnå reel ligestilling.
Employers can apply it to both women and men, and the important factor in this work is that such measures should be taken on the basis of an equal opportunities plan or a staff policy decision; that is our instrument for achieving the objective.
Desuden beder jeg Dem så inderligt, sådan som fru Gröner allerede har redegjort for, at støtte vort anliggende om at optage et separat kapitel i EU­traktaten for at forhindre den restriktive fortolkning.
The EU judgment will not affect Swedish work in the equal opportunities field, but I urge the Commission to look again at Directive 76/207 on equal treatment for men and women and at the earliest opportunity take steps to get it amended, so that we can continue our work in the EU to achieve a more equal society.
Ligestilling vil først blive en realitet, når de organer, der træffer beslutninger om samfundet, rent faktisk repræsenterer samfundet, dvs. har en paritetisk repræsentation af mænd og kvinder.
A huge commitment was given there, not just to furthering the question of equality as such — that was given; but also the question of positive action as enshrined in our fourth action programme, which we hope will receive early approval, highlighted this very point.
Det er ikke nok at fastsætte princippet om lige muligheder, det er også nødvendigt, at samfundet kontrollerer, at den lovfæstede ligestilling gennemføres i praksis.
The commitment was given — and I say this to Mrs Gröner — by every single Member State of the Union that was there.
Det er f.eks. forbavsende, at man kan finde det naturligt, at Domstolen udelukkende består af mandlige dommere, uden en eneste kvindelig dommer.
So you can imagine my anxiety on the other issue that you refer to, the Article 235 issue, which we will come back to again at a very early date.
Burde denne situation ikke give anledning til den største bekymring hos Den Europæiske Unions borgere — såvel de mandlige som de kvindelige?
But the commitment was entered into by the 15 Member States in Beijing. It will be for us now, and for me, to seek to ensure that the Council honours that commitment duly given in Beijing.
Ghilardotti (PSE). — (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil også for mit vedkommende takke den fungerende formand for Rådet og kommissæren for deres indlæg.
It was asked: where is equality in the thinking of the Commission and the Union?
Blandt de unge, der søger et job, men ikke finder noget, er pigerne i overtal.
I can state that on behalf of the President, the Equality Commission ers in the committee and all of those around the table.
Manglende sociale strukturer — vuggestuer, børnehaver og ældreforsorg — gør det vanskeligere — i visse tilfælde ligefrem umuligt — for kvinder at få et job.
I have tested that on your behalf on more than one occasion and I can say to you now positively, it is at the top of the agenda, and if
Denne og andre lignende situationer får mange kvinder til at føle utilfredshed med det mandligt dominerede Europa.
Flynn, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, I would like a few moments in which to give some initial responses at least to what was in my opinion a very good debate.
Domstolens afgørelse i Kalanke­sagen er i strid med den
It requires, in the first instance, an urgent reply.
I den offentlige sektor udgør kvinderne 54% af arbejdsstyrken, men kvindernes andel falder til under 10%, hvad angår besættelsen af ledende, ansvarsfulde poster, selv om der er omtrent lige mange kvinder og mænd med en højere universi­
That is the first thing that came across very strongly in all of the submissions, and particularly from Mrs van Dijk. In fact, what you are all saying is: please hurry up, Commissioner, and get on with whatever you are going to do.
Ghilardotti tetsuddannelse, og det trods en glimrende lov i Italien, der støtter positive foranstaltninger.
Flynn this issue has to be seen to be a part of that interest and commitment, then so be it.
den er blevet skærpet flere gange og giver i dag netop mulighed for positiv særbehandling.
You have my full support and commitment in this matter.
Arbejdsgiverne kan anvende loven på både kvinder og mænd, og det er en vigtig forudsætning i arbejdet hermed, at det sker på grundlag af en ligestillingsplan eller en personalepolitisk beslutning; det er det redskab, som vi benytter for at nå målet.
Positive action has always been understood by all of us — Commission, Parliament and Council — to be part and parcel of social Europe, and we are going to re-establish it, if that is necessary, in whatever way we can.
EU-dommen vil ikke påvirke ligestillingsarbejdet i Sverige, men jeg håber, og henstiller til Kommissionen, at den gennemgår direktiv 76/207 om ligestilling og snarest muligt træffer foranstaltninger til ændring af det, således at vi i EU kan fortsætte vort arbejde for et mere ligestillet samfund.
Alberdi, President-in-Office of the Council. — (£5J Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the first place I should like to express my thanks for all the speeches, basically expressing, mostly in similar terms, concern at the message which this judgment might have sent to the Member States, to the leaders of the Member States and to the citizens of the Member States, men and women alike.
Denne dom er således særdeles alvorlig og bekymrende på baggrund af det ovenfor beskrevne.
Mrs Kjer Hansen raised a question about quotas and related matters.
Vi har desværre ikke opnået lige muligheder mellem mænd og kvinder på et eneste område, hvad enten der er tale om uddannelse, adgang til arbejdsmarkedet, karriere, ledende poster og ligelig fordeling af byrderne i familien.
What I said, Madam, was that I would like a situation to exist where you would leave it up to every Member State and every region that so wished to take whatever measures it thought fit for its own circumstances.
Vi bør derfor fortsætte vor kamp for lige muligheder.
That is the situation that I see.
Og Rådet bør for sit vedkommende snarligt godkende det fjerde handlingsprogram.
I am not in any way suggesting prescription one way or another.
Den manglende god kendelse er et negativt tegn, fordi det viser, at domstolene ikke blot forsøger at lægge hindringer i vejen for en igangværende proces, men at Rådet selv prøver at vende udviklingen trods det, at Den Europæiske Union indtil i dag har handlet beslutsomt og har inspireret medlemsstaterne.
But I do think it is important, even in furthering the principle of subsidiarity — and I think that principle, as I understand it, might have been slightly damaged by this judgment as well — that Member States and regions should be entitled to do what we thought they already had the entitlement to do under Article 2(4) of the Directive, and that is to take the necessary steps for positive action as they saw fit.
Europa-Parlamentet vil ikke blot holde et vågent øje med situationen, men vil opfordre Kommissionen og Rådet til at fortsætte i det rette spor.
I would have to say to Mrs Ewing that I would think that there is food for thought there, and I will certainly give it much more careful consideration in preparing a possible final response.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Hr. formandjeg vil gerne have nogle øjeblikke, hvor jeg kan give i det mindste et foreløbigt svar på, hvad der efter min mening har været en udmærket debat.
When we are working to move forward, to transform society and involve it more in equal opportunities, the fact that a judgment of this kind should be delivered has, apart from legal effects, some social effects which may set us back.
Den viser den ganske betydelige bekymring, der eksisterer i alle dele af Parlamentet angående denne dom, der er faldet for nylig.
Hence the concern which many Members have shown and which must in particular worry us since we are responsible for implementing and developing the policies.
Den kræver for det første et hurtigt svar.
Very many Members felt that there should be a specific provision in the Treaty.
Det er det første, man meget tydeligt mærker i alle indlæg, og især i fru van Dijks. Faktisk er det, som om De alle siger: skynd Dem, hr. kommissær, og se at komme i gang med det, De agter at gøre. Så det er vi enige om; det vil blive behandlet som en hastesag.
I would like to say again in the House that it would be my intention — and this has been done — to recommend that there should be a Treaty change and that we would establish a reference in the Treaty, an anti-discrimination clause, whether in regard to race, sex, religion, disability or age.
Man gør det med hestekastanjer, der blive anbragt i enden af et stykke snor. Konkurrenterne forsøger at smadre modstanderens kastanje totalt.
In this connection I must tell you that the Commission has given great support with regard to this last Council of Ministers.
Desværre bliver der ikke nogen kvindelige championer i Vale of Belvoir, fordi kvinder ikke har lov til at deltage. Desværre dækker artikel 119 i traktaten ikke en sådan situation, så vi kan ikke opmuntre kvinder til at tage del.
There we agreed to allow the Fourth Equal Opportunities Action Programme to be one of the measures that we take at once; its preparation and drafting are well advanced and moreover it is suited to the present situation, to this changing economy, to that need for men and women to share responsibility in the home, the family and at work and to this need for men and women to take a balanced share in decision-making.
Men der er mange områder, hvor kvinder kan konkurrere på arbejdsmarkedet. Medmindre der bliver udøvet positiv særbehandling på disse områder, vil den ulighed, vi ser, vare i århundreder.
We hope that all these things, which form part of this Fourth Community Action Programme and which will of course be the basis for the programmes we shall be evolving in our respective countries, will be approved at the next Council of Ministers.
Seks ud af syv europæiske sagførere er mænd.
We are presently preparing a draft recommendation on women in decision-making.
Jeg venter på analysen fra de juridiske tjenester, og de har lovet mig, at sagen vil blive behandlet straks.
I promised this, you might remember, and it is my intention to produce it before the end of this year.
Jeg vil helst ikke sige for meget, før det er sket. Men — og det er min personlige opfattelse — ved første blik tror jeg, at dommen faktisk tilskynder til visse former for positiv særbehandling.
It would positively state what we recommend in that hugely important area of decision-making because, of course, that bears straight away on equality and the possibilities of having women better represented in all areas of life, electorally, in business and in every other area that you wished as well.
Det er kun min personlige opfattelse, men den er måske værd at tænke over.
Let us work at breaking the ceiling before the double glazers get into town!
Vi hører nu, at noget af den positive særbehandling, der er udøvet i visse lande, er lovstridig, og at alt det arbejde, vi har påtaget os her i Den Europæiske Union og i mange af vore medlemslande, vil blive bedømt som noget, der ikke længere bør udføres.
We had problems at the last Council, as Commissioner Flynn has said, with regard to Article 235 and the principle of subsidiarity. But in any case we think we shall be able to overcome these obstacles because we have the firm and positive decision of all the Member States.
Han har måske ikke magt til at påvirke kastanjekonkurrencerne, men jeg tror, han har magt og bør have evnen til at fremlægge forslag, der vil muliggøre positiv særbehandling på arbejdsmarkedet, så at både kvinder og mænd her i Parlamentet kan sige, at vi på en fair og rimelig måde arbejder for et bedre Europa.
In that connection it is important for Members to know that we, who have responsibility for implementing it, firmly intend to approve the Fourth action programme at the next Council.
De sagde meget rigtigt, at vi må se på dette, fordi det faktisk kan være, at afgørelsen svækker tempoet i udviklingen mod ligeret, som vi alle er begyndt at anerkende i den seneste tid.
I should also like to mention, in this brief speech, the importance which Mr President Santer attached to equal opportunities when he accepted the mandate of President of the Commission.
Vi kunne komme til at sende et forkert signal med hensyn til positiv særbehandling i almindelighed, og det må vi undgå. Jeg må sige, at der er visse personer, der kun ville være alt for lykkelige ved at overdrive omfanget af Domstolens forbud.
I promise you that I shall try, at once, to have a meeting with that group, composed of four Commissioners, and above all I shall tell them of the wealth of your speeches and the importance which the representatives of European sovereignty attach to the
Ahlqvist (PSE). — (SV) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, fru rådsformand, kære kolleger!
The reason I mention that is because the fourth action programme is a key element in this.
Positiv særbehandling af kvinder er forbudt ifølge EU-Domstolen, og det ville være meget uheldigt, om dens dom i Kalankesagen blev brugt mod de lande, som i dag benytter denne metode til at opnå en mere ligelig kønsfordeling i arbejdslivet.
Minister Alberdi and I would very much like to be able to deal with this at her Social Affairs Council on 5 December.
Jeg har dog oplevet i mine ti måneder i Europa-Parlamentet, at EU og dens institutioner arbejder meget aktivt for ligestilling, og eftersom Kommissionen har spillet en meget fremmende rolle i dette arbejde, håber jeg, at den også vil gøre det, når det gælder om at løse dette spørgsmål.
I do not know whether we can handle that in the framework of the procedures of this House, but I intend later on today to talk to Mrs van Dijk about this, to see if some arrangement is possible whereby we could set that up, so that we would establish once and for all at the end of the current third programme that there was no vacuum, and go right away into what you have all already agreed and suggested to me is a good programme.
Positiv særbehandling er efter de svenske erfaringer en ganske udmærket metode til at bryde den adskillelse af kønnene, som desværre råder inden for mange sektorer i arbejdslivet og samfundet. I Sverige har vi haft en ligestillingslov siden 1980;
All it requires is determination to finalize the matter and dispose of this issue of Article 235 that seems to be inhibiting us at the present.
Jeg har ikke haft mulighed for at sige det i Parlamentet tidligere, men da minister Alberdi Alonso er her nu, vil jeg gerne sige til hende som rådsformand, at hun gjorde et fint stykke arbejde i Beijing. Det vil jeg gerne have ført til protokols.
I think we should be able to get over that, but we definitely need parliamentary support to enable us to get it onto the agenda and finally dispose of it in 1995.
