MEPs from across the political divide have welcomed newly proposed EU rules which aim to plug the gender pay gap. They agreed that the Commission’s proposals are a “positive step forward” in the fight for gender equality.
This comes after the Commission on Thursday released a proposal on Strengthening the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women through pay transparency .
The aim of the draft directive is to achieve more equal pay between women and men and will apply to all employers with more than 250 employees. The Commission said that pay differences between men and women remain too high: on average, women in the EU earn 14.1 percent less than men in comparable positions.
