EU賃金透明性指令採択に向けての欧州委声明

今日明日の欧州議会本会議で賃金透明性指令案が可決成立する見込みだと先日書きましたが。その前夜に欧州委員会が声明を出していました。

 Tomorrow the European Parliament is set to vote on the Commission's proposal on pay transparency. The new Directive aims to ensure the effective enforcement of equal pay for men and women; bring more transparency in setting of pay; and improve access to justice for those who suffered of pay discrimination. Ahead of the vote, the Commission issued the following statements:

President Ursula von der Leyen said: “We work for Europe to remain a trailblazer in women's rights. Equal work deserves equal pay. And for equal pay, you need transparency. Women must know whether their employers treat them fairly. And when this is not the case, they must have the power to fight back and get what they deserve.”

Vice-President for Values and Transparency, Věra Jourová said: “Women must know whether their employers treat and value them equally. For this to happen, we need more transparency on pay levels, starting already at job interviews. The new pay transparency rules will be a game changer for women in Europe.”

Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli said: "With the new rules in place, employers will have to explain the pay level for a new job right from the beginning. It cannot depend on the pay history of an applicant. Those that were discriminated should get their money back. It is a step towards a Europe, where women in all their diversity can thrive equally.”

いちいち訳しませんが、フォンデアライエン委員長の台詞の中の「trailblazer」というのは先駆者という意味なんですね。

残念ながら旬報社の『労働六法』にはあと一歩間に合わず、指令番号入りの官報掲載版を載せる事が出来なかったので、昨年12月15日に欧州議会と閣僚理事会で合意されたテキストを載せる事にしました。
