lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, equality in the eyes of the law and protection against discrimination is everyone’s human right - that much is asserted in the constitutions of our Member States, all of the Member States. Nevertheless our citizens are not exempt from discrimination. For example, generic equality of rights in employment is regulated under Community law; we have, however, placed a lesser emphasis on compliance with its implementation. How else can we explain Eurostat’s annual public studies which show large discrepancies between men’s and women’s pay in the Member States? In my home country, Estonia, the gap is 27% to women’s disadvantage. This is where it stood over ten years ago, and where it still stands today. Ensuring protection of this right is just as important as judicial regulation of the matter. We must deal with this point and if necessary institute legal proceedings for violation. What our citizens need is legal certainty."@en1
