Revision of the Treaties - presentation draft position - 29.9.22
On 29 September, FEMM Committee debated on a draft position in form of amendments in the perspective of a Convention for the revision of the Treaties.
The Rapporteur Lina Gálvez Muñoz (S&D) proposes to elaborate an EU Women's Rights Charter promoting women's participation in the labour market and sexual and reproductive rights (including abortion) and lay them down in the Treaty and the Charter. She also proposes to enshrine in the Primary Law the gender terminology, implement gender mainstreaming at all stages of EU legislations and programmes and ensure "gender parity" within the EU institutions and related bodies themselves. Other amendments suggest to define gender based violence as an "EU-crime", move EU family law to ordinary procedure, encourage data collection disaggregated by sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, and put EU Budget, taxation policy and a reframed "fair social-economic governance" at the service social inclusion and gender equality. Vote on 29/11 (tbc).
