lpv:translated text	". It often seems that there is nothing new to be said about the equality between men and women. Very often we just repeat the same things all over again. Unfortunately this does not mean that there is nothing left to be said about this issue. What it actually means is that we are talking about the same concerns over and over again, because in practical terms progress is relatively slow, and one step forward is sometimes followed by one step back. The best proof of this situation is that in spite of the countless directives and proposals concerning equal opportunities for men and women, created since the Rome Agreement, the situation has not been changing very fast. The report (for which I congratulate the author) repeatedly points out that Directive 75/117/EC, enacted exactly 30 years ago, prohibits different levels of remuneration for men and women, but also mentions that according to the latest figures, the difference between remuneration levels of men and women is still on average 15% (between 4% and 25%). Another question is, how many countries have actually implemented and executed the latest Directive 113/2004? Or let us take a look at the fate of the undertakings adopted by the Council in Barcelona in 2002, to facilitate reconciliation between family life and a professional career. These are relevant to the higher employment rate of women, but could also represent a turning point in the demographic crisis. The legislation of the European Union is becoming unreliable. Regulations may be breached continuously, without any consequences. The authority of European Union institutions is damaged if its undertakings exist on paper only. I trust that in the future the Commission will inspect the implementation and execution of the acquis more seriously."@en1
