"The gender pay gap is a huge problem and something that both individual workers and social partners have a particular responsibility to address. This type of discrimination violates basic provisions of the Treaty and employers who do not take responsibility for this should even now be prosecuted in court.
However, this is contrary to our fundamental view of the Swedish labour market and the parties’ responsibility, as per current legislation, to create new legal instruments to direct wage formation at EU level or by means of a state wage policy. Wage formation is not, and should not be, an EU competence.
As our request to remove references to new legal instruments for directing wage formation at EU level was given a hearing, we have chosen to vote in favour of the report as a whole. Unfortunately, the report still contains a number of undesirable details, such as the proposal for an ‘equal pay day’. Parliament’s persistent habit of requiring the proclamation of days, weeks and years for various phenomena is placard politics which does not distinguish between different subject matter. On the contrary, the subject matter itself is viewed in a banal and casual way."@en1
