Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
5. Considers, however, that special legislation and quotas for women in science would be counterproductive and would possibly create a ‘second class’ of women scientists appointed to fill quotas rather than according to their skills and merits and therefore judged by their colleagues according to the same criteria; believes that such measures are indeed unnecessary, since most Member States have more women than men and since according to various studies, women usually exhibit higher levels of persistence, hard work, motivation and determination than men, these being the key factors leading to success in all areas, including scientific community.deleted
