"Mr President, the Commission proposal for the future of labour law is an important step, even if we have to remember that the modernisation of employment legislation is primarily a matter for the Member States. I bemoan the fact that this initiative by the Commission is very one-sided, and I am particularly sorry that this Green Paper totally ignores the colossal pay differences still to be found between women and men in the Member States of the EU. The Commission is not interested in jobs in which women and men in different European countries could receive the same and equal treatment now we are in the 21st century. I would also have expected the proposal to have pondered ways to implement the eight directives on equality which the EU has adopted and which would guarantee pay equality between men and women. I want to say finally that it is unfortunate that not a lot can be expected of the EU in the area of promoting equality between women and men."@en1
