"Madam President, on behalf of my Committee, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, I would like to underline that, during our work on the draft, we were very critical of the fact that since 2008 all the Commission has presented is a study of changes to the situation as regards unequal pay for men and women and that we are very dissatisfied with this situation and refuse to accept it. Despite the formal equality of men and women, material equality is still very far off. The figures we have heard mentioned and the figures previously provided by the Commission should also be questioned by us, as even the slight decrease is mainly the result of different figures or changes in statistics, in particular with reference to the situation in Poland, where no such data existed in the past. Accordingly, this situation should be investigated once again.
We would point out that equal pay will remain an illusion in future too if the causes of wage inequality, such as discrimination, the segregation of the labour market and a lack of child care, are not remedied. We wish to see this anchored in the Bauer report in particular. Accordingly we, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, support the Bauer report and hope that we will adopt it in Parliament today."@en1
