    WRITTEN QUESTION E-1515/98

    by Helena Torres Marques (PSE) to the Commission

    (13 May 1998)

    Subject: Statistics on women

    At the 1997 meeting of the Commissioners' Working Party on Equal Opportunities, Commissioner Wulf-Mathies announced that statistics would be available as from June 1997 on positive actions in the field of equal opportunities and that they would be published in a brochure.

    Can the Commission say what progress has been made in this connection and forward the relevant statistical data?

    Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

    (19 June 1998)

    Statistical data on equal opportunities for women and men are published each year in the Commission "Annual Report on equal opportunities for women and men in the European Union".

    This publication provides a good overview of recent data on the issue. The second edition (corresponding to 1997) was adopted by the Commission on 13 May 1998 and a copy is sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat.

    Furthermore, the Commission publishes regularly in its publication "Statistics in Focus" recent data on equal opportunities for women and men. In 1997, it published the results of the survey on the structure of earnings(1) which provided data on the gender wage gap.
