".
The final agreement on the revision of Directive 76/207/EEC is to be welcomed, although it is inadequate given the initial proposals and the existing problems. In any event, with the amendments that have been tabled and the inclusion of the definition of sexual harassment, direct and indirect discrimination and the ban on discrimination against women on the grounds of maternity leave, the directive better reflects developments in society, working conditions and family circumstances.
Amongst the amendments that have been accepted, I would highlight the following:
the possibility for Member States to provide specific advantages to the under-represented sex in a professional activity
the establishment of equality monitoring bodies; their competence to include promotion, analysis, monitoring and support of equal treatment for men and women;
the introduction of effective measures to ensure real sanctions for breaches of the directive;
the same protection against adverse treatment for persons supporting the victims of gender discrimination and harassment;
the planned and systematic promotion of equal treatment at the workplace.
Hence, our vote in favour of the report. We now hope that the national governments will implement and promote this directive."@en1
