lpv:translated text	"Madam President, 55 years ago, equal pay for men and women was established as the first fundamental right in the European Union. Now, 55 years down the line, the pay gap continues to be unacceptably wide. So there must be something we are not doing right, you would think. A fundamental right in itself is not enough to change our current practices. For example, employers should allow a lot more transparency around salaries, so that women know if they earn less than their male colleagues. Salaries should be dependent on responsibilities and skills and not on how hard you negotiate or whether you are playing golf with your boss. Workforce inspectorates should check pay gaps much more rigorously. And 55 years down the line, it is high time that we, as the European Union, make sure that equal pay becomes a reality. I would like to hear from the Commission when it intends to respond to this."@en1
