-Push for the adoption of the 2012 proposal for a Directive on improving the gender balance on corporate boards, which set the aim of a minimum of 40% of non-executive members of the under-represented sex on company boards;
-Promote the participation of women as voters and candidates in the 2024 European Parliament elections;
-Promote EU Platform of Diversity Charters in all sectors;
-Reach gender parity (50%) at all levels of Commission's management by the end of 2024 and increase efforts towards reaching a larger share of female managers in EU agencies.Address
