lpv:translated text	". The Hautala report’s amendments to the old directive on equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training, and working conditions are, to a great extent, progressive. The inclusion of positive action in favour of women, the distinctions made between direct and indirect discrimination, the definition of sexual harassment, and the claim that women, at the end of their maternity leave or after adopting or fostering a child, should have the right to go back to their own job in the same way as men do when they have been on leave, all these are intended to combat discrimination and to achieve greater equality between women and men in the workplace. We now need to tackle the question of the initial training which, via our schools, accustoms children, from a very early age, to the sexual division of tasks and thus to the inequalities which we find in the world of work and which these amendments are intended to combat. In the same way, we must also introduce and integrate compulsory measures to ensure that the laws or directives adopted are fully complied with. For example, in France, despite the equal rights laid down by law, the difference in pay between men and women is still, on average, 27%. It was with reference to real equality that we supported the Hautala report."@en1
