Løntransparensdirektivet betragtning 47

English language version pr. 2026-10-06 tier 3 Direktiv (EU) 2023/970, CELEX 32023L0970

Involving equality bodies, in addition to other stakeholders, is instrumental in effectively applying the principle of equal pay. The powers and mandates of the national equality bodies should therefore be adequate to fully cover gender-based pay discrimination, including any pay transparency or any other rights and obligations laid down in this Directive. In order to overcome the procedural and cost-related obstacles faced by workers who seek to exercise their right to equal pay, equality bodies, as well as associations, organisations and workers’ representatives or other legal entities with an interest in ensuring equality between men and women should be able to represent individuals. They should be able to assist workers by acting on their behalf or in support of them, which would allow workers who have suffered discrimination to effectively institute a claim regarding the alleged infringement of their rights and the principle of equal pay.
