In addition, after eight years, the Commission will carry out an evaluation of this Directive.
The European proposal, adopted in consideration of the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in companies and its serious consequences that exacerbate gender inequalities, focuses on two fundamental factors to achieve equal pay: on the one hand, a block of measures to guarantee pay transparency; and, on the other hand, a set of measures to facilitate access to justice for victims of pay discrimination.
