lpv:spoken text	"I believe adamantly that pay disparity on the basis of gender is unacceptable in 21st century Europe and I was happy to support this report as a result. As the report outlines, progress in narrowing the gender pay gap has been extremely slow, and in some Member States the gap has even widened. This is despite the significant body of legislation in force for almost 40 years. Reducing gender inequalities by closing the gender pay gap will bring benefits not only for women but also for society as a whole, and closing the gender pay gap should not be seen as a cost but as an investment. The resolution calls on the Commission to support Member States in their efforts to reduce pay disparity on the basis of gender and I look forward to hearing them report on their progress in the coming months."@en1
