Letter of Support

Dear Ms Dupate,

Having evaluated the invitation from the University ofLatvia to participate as an associated partner

in a CERV-GE project funded by the European Commission, the Ministry ofEconomic Affairs and

Communications of the Republic ofEstonia expresses its support for and agreement to participate

as an associate partner in the above-mentioned project coordinated by the University ofLatvia in

cooperation with the Free Trade Union Confederation of Latvia, Employers’ Confederation of

Latvia and State Labour Inspectorate.

This priority of the call for projects by the European Commission concerns support measures for

strengthening the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women for equal work or

work of equal value through pay transparency. More specifically, the project aims to ensure the

existence of detailed information on obligations under the equal pay principle; to increase capacity

and knowledge of State Labour Inspectorate, workers’ representatives, employers and employees

on the matter; to develop a digital tool for gender pay gap.

As the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications has extensive experience in the

development of a digital tool Pay Mirror in Estonia, we are ready to support the project through

cooperation to consult the project coordinator and partners regarding the content and development

of the Pay Mirror. The Pay Mirror is a solution that supports employers, allowing them to monitor

the gender pay gap indicators in organisations on a quarterly basis.

We therefore support the objectives of the project and welcome a continued dialogue with the

project consortium regarding the development of a digital tool to monitor gender pay gap

indicators.
