EU Parliament seeks to improve gender balance on committees

Source: Politico

BRUSSELS — The European Parliament is considering changing its rules to improve the gender balance of its committees.

The measures are designed to address “striking disparities” in the gender balance of committees and delegations across the institution, according to an internal letter, seen by POLITICO, from senior Greek MEP Dimitrios Papadimoulis. 

Papadimoulis — a Parliament vice-president who chairs a group of senior MEPs working on gender equality in the institution — sent the letter to the Constitutional Affairs Committee last month requesting its help in changing Parliament’s internal rules.
