Description

Positive action at the Commission Equal Opportunities Unit Directorate-General Personnel and Administration COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ^ rfjS «Æ* "Φ, % Φ ^ \tf Positive action at the Commission On 16 September 1992, the Commission adopted the second positive action programme for its female staff. The discussion, which took place at all levels and in all Commission bodies prior to the adoption of the programme, bears witness to the importance of what is at stake. The programme is an essential instru­ment for improving the situation of women at the Commission and reflects the willingness of the Com­mission to make equal opportunities an important feature of human resources management. Equal opportunities must be achieved in the policies referred to in the programme: recruitment, career, flanking measures to reconcile family and pro­fessional commitments. Now that Europe is removing the barriers to closer integration of its vital resources, I am sure that the Commission will remain true to its commitment to progress and, when implementing the positive action programme will demonstrate its ability to overcome the inevitable obstacles to any form of innovation. This is the goal which we must achieve together in the future. / Karel Van Miert Member of the Commission Brussels, 8 March 1993 International Womens' Day What is a positive action programme?
