Summary/Abstract: Based on the observations of the General Report on equality between women and men in the European Union in 2010, issued within the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender equality and the provisions of the Strategy for Equal Opportunities for the period 2010-2015 issued by the European Commission last year, the study’s author emphasizes that equal opportunities policies must be maintained and budgets to be designated for compliance and implementation of this principle must be at least equal to the year 2010 or even higher. It is also mentioned that the new strategy on gender equality is based on three main principles: attracting, developing and maintaining a balanced workforce, promoting a more flexible work environment, ensuring the adoption of the strategy at the highest level.
