Member of the Commission. - Mr President, the equality directives started in the 1970s and since then, many directives have not only changed laws in the Member States - there were no laws in the Member States at that time - but have created the laws in the Member States, the laws of equality between men and women at all levels of our society.
membră a Comisiei. - Domnule preşedinte, directivele privind egalitatea au fost iniţiate în anii '70 şi, de atunci, numeroase directive nu numai că au modificat legislaţia statelor membre - la acel moment, nu exista legislaţie în statele membre -, ci şi au creat legislaţia în statele membre, legislaţia privind egalitatea dintre bărbaţi şi femei la toate nivelurile societăţii.
