"The two resolutions tabled by the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality and debated on the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day indicate that Parliament promotes and supports equal treatment for women and men. The President of the legislative assembly actually commented that there are too few women in national parliaments, even if the situation is changing when it comes to the European Parliament. I can confirm that this is also the case in Romania, which sent a higher proportion of women to the European legislative, compared to the representation they have in their national parliament. However, apart from dealing with this situation, which can be treated only as the tip of the iceberg, it is necessary to eliminate the gender pay gap, have more women appointed to decision-making posts, and increase the level of employment among women, as they are affected more by unemployment, using dynamic and realistic policies. Analyses show that we are not just talking about the need for equal treatment for men and women, but that these policies would have a major impact on economies, with a 30% rise in GDP. The average gender pay gap is still 18% in the EU. I welcome the call made to Member States to implement the equal pay legislation."@en1
