Mrs Nicole Péry, my colleague and Secretary of State for Women’s Rights, will outline next week the French presidency’s programme in this area to your committee responsible. My intention here is to simply give a few brief details.
The Council, under the French Presidency intends to deal with several matters relating to sexual equality. Firstly, the Commission has just sent the Council a communication entitled ‘Towards a Community framework strategy for sexual equality’, also a proposal for a Council decision on a support programme for the community strategy on sexual equality, a proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and Council modifying Directive 67/207/EEC on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards – and this is crucial – access to jobs, training and vocational training and working conditions. The French presidency, I stress, has already timetabled the presentation of these Commission texts.
As regards the proposal for a decision relating to a programme on the basis of Article 13 of the Treaty and the fact that the programme is due to start on 1 January 2001, the aim of the presidency is to adopt it during the ‘employment and social welfare’ council on 28 November. With regard to the proposal for a directive, the French Presidency shall endeavour to make as much progress as possible. Apart from these legislative texts, the Council, as in previous years, shall also to consider the implementation of the Beijing action plan by the Member States.
What is more, the French Presidency will organise two events in relation to this: a ministerial conference on 27 October in Paris that will focus on three issues – women and decision-making, reconciling family life and professional life and mainstreaming – as well as a symposium on equality in the workplace on 24 November in Paris that will centre on discrimination in recruitment and the difficulties of returning to work.
You therefore have my assurance that the French Presidency will grant the issue of sexual equality particular attention."@en1
