    Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 30 March 2023 with a view to the adoption of Directive (EU) 2023/… of the European Parliament and of the Council to strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms

    ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

    Commission statement

    The Commission takes note of the compromise reached between the co-legislators on a transposition period of three years for the entry into application of the new rules on pay transparency. The Commission would like to point out that this deviation from the standard two-year transposition period should not be seen as a precedent. It only aims at ensuring that employers will have non-discriminatory pay structures in place so as to ensure full application of the new rules at the time of transposition.
