<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"In its most recent annual report, the Commission highlighted that progress in Europe’s endeavours to achieve gender equality has been slow. A key point is the wide gender pay gap across the EU, which has remained virtually unchanged in the last few years. Women earn on average 16% less than their male counterparts. However, gender equality goes far beyond closing the pay gap. Improving women’s rights in the corporate sector everywhere in the world is key to improving gender equality.1.Giventhe very slow progress on gender equality in the EU over the last few years, the commitment by Ursula vonLeyen to introduce binding measures to achieve equal pay is a welcome first step.However, this commitment has to be translated into action swiftly. How and when does the Commission intend to increase the number of female board members in listed companies and what is its objective in terms of the percentage of women on boards?2.Will the Commission use the review of Directive 2014/95 as an opportunity to push for the promotion of a more gender-neutral policy among large companies?3.How will the EU ensure that every company is transparent and responsible in terms of respecting human rights and, in particular, in their efforts in fighting child labour?"
