COMPULSORY QUOTA FOR WOMEN BOARD MEMBERS [2 January 2013]

A compulsory quota to increase the number of women board members in European businesses has been proposed. In November 2012, the European Commission framed legislation that would ensure women fill at least 40% of all non-executive board-member positions by 2020. Expected to affect about 5,000 businesses, the new law would apply only to publicly listed companies, and those with fewer than 250 employees or an annual worldwide turnover of €50 million or less would be exempted.
