lpv:translated text	"The report on equality between women and men in 2007 offers an occasion firstly for saluting the European Union’s commitment to women’s rights, which goes all the way back to 1957. However, as shown by recent statistics compiled when Romania and Bulgaria joined the Union, we can scarcely be content with the situation as it stands. In the first place, access to the labour market and status in the labour market remain, for far too many women, largely aspirational. Thirty-two years after the Council Directive requiring that women and men should receive the same pay for the same work, the gap is still too wide, at 15% on average. Secondly, achieving gender equality will require greater efforts to combat exclusion and unequal treatment, especially in rural areas where women who work alongside farmers – as assisting spouses – can suffer serious injustice in the event of divorce or in relation to property inheritance or access to property. Nor are these women always taken into account in statistical analyses. We need, as a matter of urgency, to give practical effect to various pieces of legislation. Part of the European Union’s role in this vitally important struggle is also to ensure, through awareness raising and more effective prevention, that national cultures evolve and converge."@en1
