Martinez (NI). — (FR) Hr. formand, vi befinder os her i menneskerettighedernes højborg, og man skulle tro menneske rettighederne var baseret på lighed; ingen forskelsbehandling, heller ikke på det religiøse plan, hed det i menneskerettighedserklæringen fra 1789.
Yes, Mr President, the debate about measures for artificial positive discrimination based on sex is legally unsustainable, because equality between individuals and its corollary, no discrimination by reason in particular of sex, are the keystone of our legal systems, the very basis of European law, and any specific action which involves moving from an individual view to a collective view means denying that principle.
Den stammer fra UNCTAD, den første UNCTAD-konference, der blev afholdt i Genève i 1964, hvor man opfandt begrebet »kompenserende ulighed«; men det var i relation til forholdet mellem rige og fattige lande og til den marxistisk- leninistiske idé om et modsætningsforhold mellem de fattige og borgerskabet.
Let specific training programmes be initiated for anyone who has in practice not had much chance of a job or promotion prospects at work, let measures be adopted to promote a balance between family and career responsibilities and let us avoid speeches which are frequently misleading. The recent judgment of the American Supreme Court in the Adarant case on affirmative action was also on these lines.
Lulling (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, i årevis har Europa-Parlamentet — eller i det mindste en del af medlemmerne — overøst Domstolen med komplimenter, navnlig hvad angår retspraksis, som følger af visse domme vedrørende iværksættelsen af princippet om ligebehandling og lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder.
Unfortunately, we have frequently to relate that this legislation — which involved a great deal of effort and great perseverance — is being inadequately or badly applied.
Efter mælke-, hvede, vin- og importkvoter får vi nu kvindekvoter, hvilket kan tilskrives en form for malthusianisme, men også en vis farisæisme, idet man mener, at vi bør dele smerten, fordi der ikke er tilstrækkelig med job.
There is a whole range of studies on this subject which arrive at the distressing conclusion that, very often, the way in which judges read and interpret the new legislation is coloured by the cultural background to the days of their university studies.
På den baggrund har Kalanke-dommen virket som et koldt brusebad.
Sadly, this happens in all countries, in particular in the case of the new legislation to help women.
Naturligvis er dommen sød musik for alle, der er arge modstandere af en politik til fordel for ligestilling og lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder, en politik som bygger på positive foranstaltninger og positiv særbehandling, der udtrykkeligt er foreskrevet i artikel 6 i Protokollen om social- og arbejdsmarkedspolitikken.
It is no coincidence that the action plan adopted at Nairobi, at the conference that preceded the Beijing Conference, contained a special paragraph stress ing the need for the training and retraining of judges who have to apply legislation in those cases in which, because they have not gone into it thoroughly, they are unfamiliar with the philosophy on which it is based.
Hvad farisæisme angår, vil jeg jeg sige: hvad nytter det at udskifte en mand fra det højere borgerskab med en kvinde fra det samme borgerskab?
My conclusion is: anything else is socially wrong.
Hvad ændrer det i mit land, hvor der findes en skole, der rekrutterer eliten, nemlig »Ecole nationale d'administration«, der kun tæller 8% arbejdere?
You and I, Madam Minister, are well aware of a recent example which endorses what I say: the recent local elections in Spain have made it clear that our fellow citizens have not hesitated to give their vote to women to take charge of the public interests which affect them most closely; greater weight has been attached to candidates and their qualities than to party logos.
Hvad nytter det at udskifte dem med 30 eller 92% kvinder fra borgerskabet?
And here we have the women mayors of the People's Party, which does not practice a quota policy, in Valencia, in Cadiz, in Saragossa, in Malaga, Seville and Avila and in so many Spanish towns and villages.
I Frankrig har en arbejder 30 gange mindre chance end et barn af det højere borgerskab for at besætte en ansvarsfuld post.
Meanwhile other political organizations which boast about political quotas unfortunately once more demonstrate the truth of the saying that actions speak louder than words and that fine words butter no parsnips.
Hvad nytter det, at repræsentanten for det højere borgerskab er en kvinde frem for en mand?
What I have said may explain — though it cannot justify — a judgment which is, among other things, lacking in proper grounds.
Benazir Bhutto står i spidsen for et Pakistan, hvor 15 mio børn lever i slaveri og dør i 12-årsalderen af tuberkulose.
There need to be proper grounds, but, clearly, this view is not shared by senior judges whose rulings are not open to appeal.
Visse medier er gået så vidt som til at hævde, at denne ulykkelige dom, der ikke tager hensyn til nævnte artikel i socialprotokollen, som udgør et tillæg til Maastrichttraktaten, sætter punktum for enhver yderligere forbedring af kvindernes vilkår i Den Europæiske Union, og de fejrer på fuldt tryk, at man har opnået lige rettigheder og ligebehandling for mænd.
Gebhardt (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, European laws must not be directed against the people they are really supposed to serve.
Sandheden er den, at borgerskabet har fundet på endnu et kneb. Efter racisme og fremmedhad gælder kampen nu forskelsbehandling for at glemme massakrene og katastroferne efter Maastricht.
That first occurred in the United States and then in Italy, in the area of electoral law, and now, finally, we are seeing it in the judgment of the Court of Justice.
Vi for vort vedkommende går ind for kvotering af modige, klarsynede og intelligente folk, for fjernelsen af de handlingslammede, de blinde.
Courts which, historically, had issued sound judgments in favour of women have moved towards a sort of armed and organized attempt at reconquest.
Alle tåberne burde fjernes fra deres poster, og man kunne passende begynde i Europa-Kommissionen.
But the European Union can and must respond both in order to live up to its positive achievements so far but also — and we should not forget this — in application of the platform adopted at Beijing.
Dury (PSE). — (FR) Hr. formand, fru rådsformand, vi er ikke til stede her blot for at kritisere en domstolsafgørelse eller godkende den med et topmål af mandschauvinisme og dumhed, som hr. Martinez netop har gjort.
That is the point from which we must start if we are to draw the necessary political consequences. I am grateful to Mr Flynn for pointing immediately after the judgment to the need to correct the directive on the implementation of equal treatment for men and women.
Vi er til stede for at drage konklusionerne af afgørelsen.
But correcting one single directive is not enough.
Derfor vil jeg henlede opmærksomheden på det afsnit i dommen, hvor det anføres, at man ikke bør sammenblande mål og middel.
We must hunt through the entire European Union legislation for any unintentionally bad wording and loopholes.
Positiv særbehandling er acceptabel som mål, men ikke som instrument til opnåelse af målet.
Then we will have to carry out the necessary repairs rapidly.
Jeg refererer her fra generaladvokatens forslag til afgørelse.
Finally, we must ensure that in future our laws are drafted in clear,
Men i den kamp, jeg nu har ført i 30 år for mænds og kvinders ligestilling, må jeg konstatere, at uden den positive særbehandlings instrumenter — herunder fortrinsstilling og kønskvotering — har kvinderne ingen mulighed for at opnå en sådan
We — Parliament, Commission and Council — must work together to ensure that the Kalanke judgment does not act as a brake on a vital and inevitable historical process.
Lulling der ikke kunne gøres fremskridt med hensyn til at afhjælpe situationer, hvor kvinder er underrepræsenteret.
Gebhardt unambiguous language that is comprehensible to all our citizens.
Hvad, jeg har sagt, kan forklare, men ikke retfærdiggøre en dom, der blandt andet er dårligt begrundet.
Does the Commission share this view?
Et synspunkt de høje dommere, hvis domme er inappellable, naturligvis ikke deler.
Does the Commission not see that there is an urgent need for action to ensure legal certainty?
Endvidere vil jeg gerne udtrykke håbet om, hr. formand, at kvinder, der føler sig forskelsbehandlet på samme måde som Kalanke, vil rejse søgsmål.
Last week's judgment has once again drawn attention to a quite different question.
Vi får da at se, om Domstolen fremturer.
It concerns the European Court of Justice.
Hvis den fremturer, vil jeg sige »Errare Humanuni est, perseverare diabolicum«.
For the composition of that court is wrong.
Og jeg opfordrer kommissæren og ministeren til for deres vedkommende at fremture med deres glimrende indsats til forsvar for positive foranstaltninger og ligestillingspolitikken.
Since that high court is not a football team, it is absolutely incomprehensible why it is composed of eleven men.
Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, min gruppe er meget for lige behandling af mænd og kvinder.
Van Lancker (PSE). - (NL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am grateful to the Commissioner and the Council President for attending this debate and also for the commit ment they show to these issues.
Dette vil jeg da også begynde med at sige i denne forhandling.
Not only as far as women are concerned, Mr Crowley, but migrants and handicapped people too.
Derfor er den allerstørste juridiske klarhed ønskelig.
I read in the papers that promotions have meantime been frozen in many civil services because of similar practices widespread in these civil services.
Den Europæiske Union bør imidlertid gribe ind for at forsvare de positive ting, der er gjort indtil nu, men — vel at mærke — i overensstemmelse med det program, der blev vedtaget i Beijing.
Especially in the case of supreme courts, there is a need not just for outstanding legal knowledge, which is indubitably exists, but also for enormous experience of life, so that the law is not interpreted in an unworldly way. Only women can offer the experience of life of women.
Heldigvis forholder det sig således, og det vil jeg gerne understrege endnu en gang her, at lovgivning og dagligdag for eksempel i mit land, hvor vi taler om en forholdsmæssig del af det kvalificerede udbud, er skruet langt smartere sammen end eksemplet fra Bremen.
Hitherto, practice has clearly shown that even qualified women do not get the same look-in as their male colleagues when it comes to promotion or appointments to senior posts. Mr Flynn, does the Commission share my view that women who are bringing up a family generally have even fewer chances of promotion at work?
Vor gruppe er da også overvejende af den opfattelse, at punkter som at give absolut og ubetinget og automatisk forrang er specifikke for denne sag, og at de ikke gælder for lovgivning og foranstaltninger for lige og positiv behandling i andre lande.
I would also point to what is happening in America over affirmative action. Here too, preferential treatment for black women is currently in jeopardy.
Vi må også forhindre, at denne sag bliver misbrugt til noget sådant.
The circumstances in this case are very special.
Palacio Vallelersundi (PPE). — (ES) Hr. formand, det er smerteligt for personen, og der er noget juridisk uholdbart og socialt fordærvet i de påstande, der støtter den kunstige positive særbehandling, som ifølge den rigtige dom i Kalankesagen stræber efter en aritmetisk udregnet ligestilling lige til det sidste, for at påtvinge kvinders tilstedeværelse i ansvarsfulde stillinger.
So, Commissioner, you have my full backing in seeking legal clarification as swiftly as possible of the scope of this process, but I would also urge everyone once again to have the courage to repeat a clear call for tough positive action.
Hr. formand, fru formand for Rådet, hr. kommissær, ærede medlemmer, jeg siger det højt og tydeligt: Jeg nægter at kvalificere mig på grundlag af kønskvotering!
There are so many subtle discriminatory mechanisms which tacitly give the edge to men and I think that quotas and temporary preferment for women are perfectly defensible.
Derfor støtter jeg Kommissionens forslag og forslaget fra Rådet om meget hurtigt at få taget denne doms juridiske implikationer op.
Commissioner Flynn, I listened with interest to your suggestion about amending the directive in such a way that equal treatment remains possible and that Member States which wish to go further can do so.
Jeg mener, at dette er det allervigtigste, vigtigere end at se på, om vi skal forandre direktivet eller udarbejde et nyt direktiv. Vi må proportionere denne sag.
But I ask you to think before you start: I should be very glad to see the European Union standing up for quotas and preferential legislation, not only in Member States which are inclined to have them anyway but as a principle, the principle we argued for in Beijing.
Marinucci (PSE). — (IT) Hr. formand, der findes nu egentlige fællesskabsretlige og nationale forskrifter, vedrørende kvinders stilling, i form af direktiver og love, der specifikt tager sigte på ikke så meget at give kvinderne ligebehandling som integration i fuldt omfang og på alle niveauer i samfundet, på arbejdsmarkedet og i institutionerne.
Crawley (PSE). — Mr President, I also welcome Commission er Flynn's contribution and the fact that he came to the Committee on Women's Rights last week very quickly after the judgment. I also thank the Spanish President-in-Office for her contribution.
Det som den europæiske ret støtter effektivt og legitimerer, det som samfundet kræver, er en effektiv politik, der indeholder foranstaltninger, hvis berettigelse og formål er ligestilling, hvilket er noget helt andet.
There has hardly been any voluntary change in relation to positions of responsibility.
Lad os lave særlige uddannelsesprogrammer til dem, som i praksis har færre muligheder for at få arbejde eller for at blive forfremmet, lad os vedtage foranstaltninger, som støtter fordelingen af det familiemæssige og det arbejdsmæssige ansvar, og lad os blive fri for utroværdige holdninger.
The measures in favour of women are therefore simply the result of the low degree of flexibility shown with regard to giving women equal participation.
Dette har USA's højesteret også udtalt i den nyligt afsagte dom i Adarant-sagen om affirmative action.
What possibilities does the Commission see now of increasing the proportion of able women in occupations where they can be promoted and in senior positions?
Vi siger ofte om denne lovgivning, der er opbygget gennem en stor og ihærdig indsats, at den desværre kun i ringe udstrækning er omsat til praksis eller er det på ringe vis.
Does the Commission share my fear that it represents a political and psychological set-back to acceptance of a women's policy that is not just rhetoric but that aims to bring about lasting changes in society?
Vi konstaterer også, at den undertiden fortolkes dårligt af dommere ved forskellige retter.
Are there perhaps also fears that if more women were represented a different policy would gain ground?
I den forbindelse findes der en hel række undersøgelser, der munder ud i en beklagelig konklusion, nemlig at dommerne ofte læser og fortolker de nye love gennem briller, der lader deres studietids kulturmønster træde frem.
For instance, would a female majority in decision-making posts finally establish a policy on the compatibility of work and family, which has very little support from men?
Jeg vil slutte med at sige: alt andet er socialt fordærvet.
It is a great leap backwards for the cause of women's equality in the workplace and in public life.
Fru minister, De og jeg kender udmærket et nyligt eksempel, der bekræfter mine ord: De netop afholdte kommunalvalg i Spanien har vist, at vores medborgere ikke tøvede med at give deres stemme til kvinderne, for at de kunne forvalte de offentlige interesser, der er tættest på dem, hvor kandidaten og kandidatens kvaliteter er vigtigere end hvilket parti, vedkommende tilhører.
Women across Europe are extremely angry and frustrated that just as governments, local authorities, firms and companies were slowly beginning to implement good practice, positive action measures to encourage women into senior positions at managerial, professional level, the famous glass ceiling has been effectively doubleglazed by this Court ruling.
Dér ser vi de kvindelige borgmestre fra Partido Popular, som ikke praktiserer kønskvoteringspolitik. I Valencia, i Cádiz, i Zaragoza, i Malaga, i Sevilla og i Ávila, og i
I fear that this will also give a green light to the backlash brigade against feminism, who have been waiting in the wings for their turn to come round again.
Dette sker desværre i alle lande, især hvad angår den nye lovgivning til fordel for kvinder.
The Luxembourg decision has been justified in legal and democratic terms.
Palacio Vallelersundi muligheder ser Kommissionen nu for at øge andelen af kvalificerede kvinder i erhvervsmæssige karriere- og ledelsesstillinger?
Crawley women will have to wait decades before the democratic deficit — the inequality deficit — is cleared.
Gebhardt (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, fru rådsformand, hr. kommissær, mine damer og herrer! Europæiske love må ikke være rettet mod de mennesker, som de egentlig skal tjene. Men det er netop, hvad direktiv 76/207 gør, det direktiv, som EF-Domstolen grunder den ligestillingsdom på, som vi taler om her.
Will our granddaughters be standing in this place in the year 2050 calling for greater equality in business, in the judiciary and in public life?
Men frygter Kommissionen ligesom jeg, at det er et politisk og stemningsmæssigt tilbageskridt for accepten af en kvindepolitik, der ikke blot er ren retorik, men forsøger at opnå varige forandringer i samfundet? Deler Kommissionen manges uro over, at kvinders rolleskift kunne have konkrete personalemæssige konsekvenser? Er man eventuelt også bange for, at flere kvinder ville betyde en anden politik?
We regarded our model, which gives automatic preference to women with the same qualifications as men until the quota is reached, but only until then, and which has now been forbidden — and that is the issue here — as the clearest, the most reasonable, the most fair and convincing model.
Afgørelsen i Luxembourg begrundes juridisk og demokratisk. Egentlig symboliserer den modstanden mod varige forandringer i vort samfund.
I call on Commissioner Flynn to say to us that he will bring forward a new directive to replace the existing 1976 equal treatment directive, or that he will seek to embed the principle of positive action so that it is not illegal in the reform of the Treaty in 1996.
Disse forandringer ville hjælpe mange kompetente kvinder, der sidder i ledende stillinger, på vej.
Otherwise, Commissioner Flynn, Parliament will take action under Article 138b and officially call on you to bring forward legislation.
Det er ikke den forkastede lov fra Bremen, der er forkert, det er ikke EF-Domstolens dom, der er forkert, men det er direktivet fra 9. januar 1976, der er forkert.
Torres Marques (PSE). — (PT) Madam President-in-Office, first of all I would like to congratulate you on what you said, proof of your great strength and enormous sympathy for our cause.
Det er her, vi skal tage fat, når vi drager de nødvendige politiske konsekvenser.
I should also like to thank Commissioner Flynn for what he said on this issue.
Jeg er taknemmelig for, at hr. Flynn allerede umiddelbart efter dommen gjorde opmærksom på nødvendigheden af at ændre direktivet om gennemførelse af ligestilling for mænd og kvinder. Men det må ikke høre op med ændringen af et enkelt direktiv.
But since the all-male court in Luxembourg has now decided that promoting equal opportunities for women must be confined to creating equal starting conditions but not to achieving actual equality, I call on the Commission and in particular on you, Mr Flynn, to revise Directive 76/207 EEC without delay so that the performance-related quota is allowed in future too and we women actually can achieve equality.
Vi skal have luget ud i hele Den Europæiske Unions lovgivning med henblik på utilsigtede dårlige formuleringer og fælder. Så må vi hurtigt foretage de nødvendige udbedringer.
Moreover, I warmly urge you to support our proposal to include a specific chapter in the EU Treaty to ensure that the directive is not interpreted restrictively.
Deler Kommissionen denne opfattelse?
It was with great alarm that we heard about the decision of the Court on the Kalanke case and its two possible consequences.
Ser Kommissionen ikke et påtrængende behov for at handle, også i lyset af retssikkerhed?
The right to equality will only be respected when bodies which take decisions on society actually represent society or, in other words, have equal representation of men and women.
Dommen i sidste uge retter igen opmærksom heden mod et helt andet spørgsmål.
It is not only necessary for there to be equal opportunities, but it is also necessary for society to ensure that in practice the illegal possibility of equality is naturally put into practice.
Da Den høje Ret ikke er noget fodboldhold, er det helt uforståeligt, at den består af elleve mænd.
Ought not this situation to be a cause for great concern for the citizens, male and female, of the European Union?
Van Lancker (PSE). — (NL) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg vil gerne rette en hjertelig tak til kommissæren og rådsformanden for deres tilstedeværelse ved denne forhandling og især for deres engagement.
Ghilardotti (PSE). - (IT) Mr President, I too wish to thank the President-in-Office and the Commissioner for what they have said.
Ikke alene for kvinder men sandelig, kollega Crowley, også for migranter og handicappede.
The judgment of the Court of Justice is worrying, not only in terms of its intrinsic content but because of its legal and political significance and the message it conveys.
Vor kollega, fru Dury, har allerede peget på, hvad der sker i CDU. Jeg har læst i aviserne, at forfremmelser i mellemtiden er blevet fastfrosset i mange offentlige embeder på grund af tilsvarende praksis, der var almindelig udbredt inden for det offentlige.
In this very difficult period, when we are seeing changes in the nature of work and there are very high levels of unemployment, it is unfortunately clear that those worst affected by those changes in all of the countries of the European Union are women.
Der er således i øjeblikket ved at udvikle sig en reel kaskadevirkning nedad på grund af denne dom.
In my own country, Italy, for example, the first to lose their jobs are women.
Med denne henvisning vil jeg ikke blot kræve den egentlig selvfølgelige ligestilling inden for dommerstanden.
The bulk of those young people looking for work but failing to find a job are young women.
Netop ved de højeste instanser skal man ikke blot besidde en strålende juridisk viden, som de siddende dommere utvivlsomt har, men også en enorm livserfaring for at undgå en verdensfjern fortolkning af loven.
The lack of social provision — day nurseries and structures to help the elderly — make it more difficult and, in some instances, downright impossible for women to have access to work.
Hvilke muligheder for indflydelse på regeringerne i medlems landene ser Kommissionen, således at der også udnævnes kvindelige dommere i Luxembourg, indtil der er opnået en ligevægt?
Women account for 54 per cent of public sector employees, but at managerial and senior level, although the percentage of women with diplomas and university degrees is more or less the same as men, women account for less than 10%, despite the excellent legislation we have in Italy to promote positive measures.
Keppelhoff-Wiechert (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, fru råds formand, mine damer og herrer.
These and other situations mean that women are not satisfied because the Europe we have is such a masculine one.
