Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) In accordance with the strategy for promoting equality between women and men in Europe 2010-2015, the Union should make better use of women's potential, thereby contributing to the Union's overall economic and social goals by getting more women into the labour market and into good quality jobs. In addition, to reach the Europe 2020 objective of a 75 % employment rate for women and men, there is a need for particular attention to be given to the labour market participation of older women, single parents and women with a disability, migrant women and women from ethnic minorities. The employment rates of these groups are still relatively low and there is therefore a need for remaining gender gaps to be reduced in both quantitative and qualitative terms.
