lpv:translated text	". Gender equality in the European Union is viewed as a democratic value, freedom of self-expression and the basis of fully fledged interpersonal relations. By emphasising the reconciliation of work and private life as one of the priority aspects of the EU's gender equality policy, the European Commission is promoting a uniform approach to men and women in all areas, including employment, pay and the individual right of every parent across the entire European Union to appropriate childcare leave. Although there are different implementation models for the integration of gender equality strategy in the European Union (the dual family breadwinner model, the male breadwinner and female part-time worker and housewife model, the male breadwinner and female housewife model), gender equality is an important issue everywhere in the realm of employment – professional and vertical sex segregation in the labour market, linked to women culturally being allocated most responsibility for house work. While agreeing with the Commission, I urge Member States to be more active in organising information campaigns for the public and employers on questions related to equal opportunities in the area of work and employment. Employers must regularly provide employees or their representatives with appropriate information on the uniform approach to men and women within the company. To gain a better understanding of the causes for different attitudes to men and women in the area of employment and professional activity, it is necessary to gather and analyse comparable gender specific data and statistics. By cooperating with social partners we must improve women's position in the workplace and solve the problem of gender pay differences which is still relevant, as well as the question of clear gender differentiation in the labour market. We must review regulations on flexible working hours to allow men and women to coordinate work and family commitments more successfully, and guarantee equal opportunities for employment and for vocational education which determines employment."@en1
