In September 2010, The European Commission launched its Strategy for Equality between Women and Men 2010-2015, in which equality in decision-making constitutes one of the most important issues of the Commission (Brussels, 21 September 2010, COM (2010) 491).

The EU member states have already taken a number of measures to increase representation of women in decision-making. In the area of political decision-making, specific measures have ensured a greater presence of women elected to parliaments. Since 1994, legal quotas have been introduced in constitutional and voting rights in five EU member states, namely in Belgium, France, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain. Political parties also introduced voluntary quotas that they observe in drafting lists of candidates.

Various EU member states have taken measures to ensure a guaranteed presence of women in the management boards of public enterprises and/or private businesses. The quota regulation in Norway for the business world has ensured that in the area of economic decision-making a much more balanced situation has developed in the management boards of businesses (42% women on management boards). The Norwegian legislation has inspired other countries, such as Spain, France and the Netherlands, who introduced legal quotas for the management boards of listed companies.
Other countries, such as Belgium, have introduced quotas for the management boards of several public business enterprises. Sweden imposes no quotas, but in September 2009 started training programmes to increase the number of women on management boards.

The EU member states also implement a supportive policy with regard to women in decision-making, ranging from research and training programmes to sensitisation campaigns, etc.

Therefore, we, elected representatives of National Parliaments of the Member States and Candidate Countries and of the European Parliament attending the 15th Conference of the Network of Parliamentary Committees for Equal Opportunities for Women and Men, in Brussels, declare that: 1. the representation of women in decision-making should be strongly promoted. A global strategy should be developed for this purpose, ranging from collection of information and research, European and national indicators, and sensitisation campaigns to positive action measures in all areas of decision-making. In extending the progress made with regard to political decisionmaking, the focus should be put on greater participation of women in socio-economic decisionmaking; 26
