47As regards statistical evidence, the Court has already held, first, that the national court must take into account all those workers subject to the national legislation in which the difference in treatment has its origin and, second, that the best approach to the comparison is to consider the respective proportions of men in the workforce affected by the rule at issue and of those not affected thereby, and to compare those proportions as regards women in the workforce (see, to that effect, judgments of 9 February 1999, Seymour-Smith and Perez, C‑167/97, EU:C:1999:60, paragraph 59, and of 6 December 2007, Voß, C‑300/06, EU:C:2007:757, paragraph 40).
