"Mr President, corporate governance is defined as the system by which companies are run and controlled and as a set of relationships between the management of a company, its board of directors, shareholders and other stakeholders.
Corporate governance framework for listed companies in the European Union is a combination of legislation and non-binding legal instruments, including recommendations and codes of corporate governance. Directive 2006/46/EC promotes the implementation of corporate governance codes, and requires listed companies to refer to such a code in their corporate statement and report on its implementation.
According to the Commission’s findings, the current proportion of women on boards of directors of listed companies in the European Union is on average 12%. We urge the Commission to table a legislative proposal by the end of 2012 if, by means of optional measures, companies do not meet the objective of including 30% women in the composition of their boards of directors by 2015, and respectively 40% by 2020."@en1
