Politicians cannot tolerate human rights violations
Data protection agencies in European countries have concluded Google Inc's new privacy policy is in breach of European law, EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said Thursday
I would like to take this opportunity to share my personal concerns about the human rights situation in Ukraine, a country where UEFA Euro-2012 matches will be organised, and especially the dramatic situation of Yulia Tymoshenko
People give out their data often without thinking about it ... They have no idea that it will be sold to third parties.
I’m not in favor of quotas ... However, I like the results they bring.
This continues to be a missing piece of the puzzle
Quotas are a tool and they can be very effective
The lack of women in top jobs in the business world harms Europe's competitiveness and hampers economic growth ... Personally, I am not a great fan of quotas...However, I like the results they bring.
Women do not mean cost for companies. Women mean a benefit. Women mean business
But [they] open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling.
Only 24 companies signed up and there was not a single German company among them
I’m not a fan of quotas, but I like the results they bring

I will work closely with the European Parliament and all member states to brin...
Self-regulation so far has not brought about satisfactory results. The lack of women in top jobs in the business world harms Europe's competitiveness and hampers economic growth
They are spotting you, they are following you, they are getting information about your friends, about your whereabouts about your preferences ... That is certainly not what you thought you bought into when you downloaded a free-of-charge app. That's exactly what we have to change.
Citizens want the quota, the polls show us that
Where there are laws, there is progress
I wish there was more courage to find new solutions. In Germany, it is a question of demographics: there are already too few apprentices.
It's a shame if such an important question gets caught up in party political debate
This really concerns me, and this is against the law because nobody has the right to get your personal data without you agreeing to this
Quotas itself are not sufficient. You also have to bring women in the pipeline
