lpv:translated text	"Madam President, my congratulations to Ms Bauer on her detailed report. The need for action to close the pay gap between men and women is a perennial complaint and, at the same time, a sad story. The pay gap remains. It ranges from 4 % to 27.6 % in the Member States of the European Union. On average, women are paid 16.4 % less than men. Progress is slow and negligible. As, basically, pay inequalities are the result of discrimination and stereotyping, we need social initiatives at national, local and, most importantly, European level, a change of attitude and effective measures in both the public and private sectors and measures to reconcile family and work. I support the idea of a European strategy to address this gap, with the European Union taking a leading role in coordinating policies, promoting best practices and involving various social operators. I call on the Commission to take initiatives immediately and to revise the current legislation, based on the resolution, by February 2013, with the emphasis on penalties for infringements."@en1
