The European Court of Justice has ruled that insurance companies cannot charge men more insurance than women simply because they are men. Previously, women and men under the exact same circumstances (i.e. same number of years holding a license, same number of accidents, etc) would be charged different amounts according to their gender (men being charged more).
They also ruled that women can't be given a lower rate of pension simply because they live longer; they must be given the same rate as men.
