I supported this report, which seeks to formulate proposals to perfect legislation on bridging the pay gap between men and women. Additionally, the report proposes the creation of a Europe-wide strategy.
The mean gender pay gap is still 16.4% in the European Union, and in some Member States it is rising. The underlying reasons are complex and interconnected.
I agree with the report’s intention to call on the Commission to review the 2006 Directive on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation. I consider the proposed amendments to be comprehensive and thorough.
The proposal that the European Parliament should introduce a ‘Women and Business in Europe’ prize that would be awarded to employers that promote women, support female managers and practise equal pay is a remarkable initiative."@en1
