Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Supports the Commission’s commitment to combating gender-based violence, supporting and protecting the victims of these crimes and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their crimes; supports the Commission’s plan to continue pushing for the EU-wide ratification of the Istanbul Convention; underlines, in this context, the need for specific measures to address the existing disparities between Member States; draws attention, however, to the fact that several attempts to convince reluctant Member States have already failed; warmly welcomes, therefore, the Commission’s intention to propose measures in 2021 to achieve the objectives of the Istanbul Convention if the EU’s accession remains blocked; calls for preparatory actions for the launch of additional legally binding measures to eliminate violence against women; very much welcomes the planned extension of definitions of areas of particularly serious crime under Article 83(1) of the TFEU, but calls for the inclusion of all forms of gender-based violence, in order to take a proactive approach and lay the groundwork for an EU directive on this issue; considers it particularly important in this regard to provide for - and punish as crimes - specific forms of gender-based violence, such as female genital mutilation (FGM), forced abortion, forced sterilisation, forced marriages and the publication of revenge porn, as well as gender-based violence perpetrated online;

11. Welcomes the Commission’s commitment to table binding measures on pay transparency by the end of 2020; considers it necessary, however, to introduce EU-wide binding measures to bridge the gender pay gap; points out, howemoreover, that the issue of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value across different occupational sectors still needs to be addressed; strongly recommends the inclusion of the principle of equal pay for work of equal value between women and men, which could be defined as follows: ‘Work shall be deemed of equal value if, based on a comparison of two groups of workers which have not been formed in an arbitrary manner, the work performed is comparable, taking into account factors such as the working conditions, the degree of responsibility conferred on the workers, and the physical or mental requirements of the work’; points out that gender-neutral job evaluation tools and classification criteria need to be developed for this purpose;
