EU Pay Transparency Directive: Transposition

Q: How far have countries reached in transposition? What about Germany?

In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs is actively looking into transposing the directive. For the private sector, Sweden is the only country to have published draft regulations, which build on the existing requirements in Sweden that support equal pay delivery. Belgium has recently transposed the directive for a portion of public sector workers on a very similar basis to the directive provisions.
