"I voted in favour of the resolution on promoting worker mobility within the European Union. The mobility of workers represents an effective tool in combating unemployment, since it makes it easier to find a job. The increasing transnational geographical and occupational mobility of workers is particularly important at a time of economic crisis, which has led to increasing unemployment, particularly among young people.
Free movement of labour is one of the most important achievements of the single European market. However, despite the EU legislation and programmes aimed at its promotion, the number of Europeans using their right to take up work outside their country is still low. Only 11.3 million Europeans live outside their country. It is about four million more than 10 years ago, but still only 2.3% of the EU population. As a member of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality I wish to draw your attention to two issues: support for women and wage inequality.
It is necessary to provide relevant services to women who follow their husbands or partners to another Member State, such as courses facilitating integration into the new social and cultural environment (including language and professional or vocational training). Women in the EU earn, on average, 17.5% less than men. It is necessary to develop national policies aimed at eliminating the disparities in accordance with the directive on equal pay for women and men."@en1
