"It's done. The Commission has approved my proposal for a European law to have 40% of women on boards of directors in 2020." Satisfied with this first victory, Viviane Reding, Vice President and European Commissioner for Justice, has tweeted in 20 EU languages. After lowering the ambition of his project to overcome the blocking of some of his colleagues, Luxembourg policy has steadfastly defended the mandatory quota for women scored a hit on Wednesday to win the support of his fellow Commission. But the proposal has a long journey to get the support of the European Parliament and a majority of countries sufficient to prevent blocking threat expressed by a group of countries led by Britain and Holland.
To avoid these resistances, Reding has given at key points in an attempt to bring up the main thing: the requirement to large listed companies to have 40% women on its board. In early 2012 were only 13.7%.
The plan was rejected by the Vice President on 23 October by the opposition of a large number of commissioners and doubts of the legal service of the EU executive. This indicated that, as the Court of Luxembourg, a European standard can not simply impose a point target without the means to do.
According to the latest draft, it is the country will design punish companies that do not have a joint board. Sanctions should take effect from 2020, or 2018 in the case of public, diplomatic sources say. Reding resigned his initial intention to apply the rule to all large companies (over 250 employees), and finally only affect listed on stock markets.
"Member States should lay down penalties applicable [...] and take the decisions necessary to ensure that this policy is applied," says the text. According to this document, the penalties must be "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" and must include fines and the possibility of a judge to declare void acts contrary to the standard appointments.
To achieve legal department approval, the vice president has included in its proposal a selection mechanism for boards to ensure meeting the target of 40%. When multiple candidates with equal qualifications, the standard will force large companies to choose the underrepresented sex. Thus, the selection process will be transparent and neutral and take into account the experience and qualifications, have been highlighted as sources consulted by Efe.
