A review of the past 50 years reveals an
unprecedented success story: what began as
the EEC on 25 March 1957 has grown into a
union of 27 member states which, after so
many painful years of war, expulsion and
suffering, now unites the continent in peace
and ensures a level of prosperity and
stability previously unknown in the history
of this continent. Tags :eutubeEUcommissionEuropeanUnionfiftiethanniversaryEEC
March the 8th is International Women's Day.
But how much have women in Europe got to
celebrate?
Women earn an average of 15% less than men- a
figure which rises to 25% in the private

topic on the European political agenda.
A new video report from the European
Commission Directorate General Employment,
Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities
explains how a number of EU countries are
taking actions to try to end discrimination
against women in the workplace.
