"After 25 years of the Equal Pay Directive, there are still differences between women’s and men’s pay. It is estimated that 15 per cent of this difference in pay is due to gender and not to other factors such as seniority, management responsibility and such like. The principle of equal pay for work of equal value has therefore still not made itself felt. An extra effort must therefore be made to ensure that it is the job and the responsibilities, and not the individual’s gender, which decide how much he or she is paid. We support the report, which we believe contains a number of sensible recommendations. We wish to emphasise that, if unfair differences in pay are to be successfully stamped out, greater openness and transparency must be ensured in the way in which pay is determined. We also want to emphasise that individual countries must make sure they have reasonable conditions for women’s participation in the labour market (child care facilities etc), if the goal of equal pay for work of equal value is to be achieved."@en1
