"Madam President, I would particularly like to thank Ms Bauer for the excellent work she has done. Commissioner, we have to work with the Member States to establish a clear road map for eliminating the gender pay gap. We need concrete, measurable legislative commitments that can monitor the progress made or reveal the sticking points.
In my view, the Member States should be further supervised in this undertaking by the Commission, usefully supported by Eurostat, not least so we can find out what works and what does not work, and disseminate and share good practice. This will start a virtuous circle in terms of culture and mentality both in the world of work and more generally in society at large.
We now need to transform these proposals into concrete measures, by strengthening the legislation in force and equipping it with sanctions, which must of course be effective and proportional while acting as a deterrent, and introducing continuous, compulsory monitoring of staff recruitment, pay and the right to take maternity leave without the risk of dismissal."@en1
