lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of Mrs Bauer’s report, given the gender inequalities which, unfortunately, still exist. Equality between women and men is a fundamental value of the European Union. Promoting the principle of equal opportunities between women and men is a relatively recent concern for the European Union – featuring in the Maastricht Treaty or Amsterdam Treaty – although various aspects have been highlighted by many declarations or international agreements, such as the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women of 1967. In Romania two of the fields in which the majority of workers are women would be health and social services and education (69.5%). Professions and workplaces dominated by women still tend to be undervalued compared to those where men predominate. Inequalities and discrepancies in applying gender criteria have a definite impact on pay. The average wage difference between women and men is 8.5-15%, and even bigger in the private sector, in the latter’s favour. This contravenes Directive 75/117/EEC relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for women and men."@en1
