Origin - 2013 - March Standing Committee

In the draft resolution, paragraph 4, replace the words "Serious progress has been made" with the following words:

"Apart from Slovenia, where numerous statistical data show that the situation is even better than the average in European Union member States, the Assembly welcomes the serious progress made".

Explanatory note

The number of women employed full-time or who have obtained a certain degree of education is indeed above the EU average, largely due to a good network of public kindergartens.
