lpv:translated text	". The principle of equal treatment has been enshrined in Community legislation for decades, yet it has thus far not been possible to put an end to inequality between men and women. Wage differentials between men and women in the EU have remained alarmingly high in recent years, even though the rate of women’s participation in the labour market has risen. The average gender-specific wage differential in the European Union is still 16%. This is often directly linked to how well family life and employment are reconciled. I therefore give my backing to the report on the Commission proposal aimed at modernising and simplifying Community law in the area of equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation. I believe that the Member States must take further steps to implement Community law, by promoting information campaigns to change attitudes in the world of work. At the same time, the social partners can play a decisive role in this by promoting flexible working arrangements which allow both women and men to combine work and family life more successfully."@en1
