Women’s Europe: for parity in the newly elected institutions of the European Union in 2014

Abstract:
On the occasion of Women's Day on 8th March 2014 the Robert Schuman Foundation has published a text by Pascale Joannin entitled 'Women's Europe: for parity in the newly elected institutions of the European Union in 2014'. 2014 is a decisive year for Europe because all of the institutions will be elected anew (Parliament, Commission, High Representative for Foreign Affairs, President of the European Council). It is an opportunity for the European Union to implement the measures set out in the treaties which provide for equality between men and women: two women out of the four as the head of the institutions and 14 commissioners out of the 28.
