"I am very happy to have received this question, because I have good news to report. Since 1 January, there have, for the first time, actually been more women than men working for the Commission. We are very proud of this result, but we know that this is not the end of it. We still need to continue with our policy of also improving the figures for our female colleagues in managerial positions and non-managerial posts (AD) in the Commission.
We therefore adopted this strategy from 2010 to 2014, until the end of this Commission’s mandate. We really would like to achieve a result where women would represent 25% of senior management positions, 30% of middle management and 43% of AD non-management posts. We have already achieved quite a lot over the last 15 years with the tremendous increase of women in managerial positions. We would, of course, like to continue with this same effort. The method we are going to use would be that retirements would be replaced with women, who would represent 30% of recruitment among senior management and 50% among middle managers and ADs. So that means that when these managers retire, 30% or 50% of them should be replaced by women.
In answer to your question, I checked the situation in other institutions and I must say that you are doing quite well in Parliament. The figures are very impressive. It is not quite the same in the case of the Council, though to be honest, we have slightly different results. But I think that the best method to progress further would be if we continued with our policy of exchanging best practice, and in exchanging experience about the implementation of our policies.
I know that our heads of administration, our secretaries-general, are discussing this issue on a regular basis also, and I believe that this exchange of good practice will lead to the appropriate results in all EU institutions."@en1
