Greece, finally, reports that under the law of 2008 a quota in favour of female candidates at the national elections was established. This means that at last one-third of all candidates on the electoral lists of the political parties, coalitions of parties or independent candidates throughout the country must be women otherwise the specific lists will not be valid and will be banned from the national elections. In some MS attempts to introduce legal electoral gender quotas have been resisted (SK, HU). Corporate sector Some MS report that while the representation of women in politics is quite satisfactory, in all other areas, public and private, participation is very low. In the Netherlands, for example, over 50 organisations, in the public as well as the private sector, have voluntarily signed up to a charter called Talent to the Top. By joining the charter, organisations commit themselves to developing or continuing to pursue a strategy for the appointment and through-flow of women in management positions. Sweden reports having gender-balanced elected assemblies, ranging from national to local, as well as gender-balanced boards in state-owned companies, but lower female representation on the boards of private companies. In order to achieve gender balance on the boards of companies, a national board chair programme for women has been initiated by the Government. This program is intended to spread good examples through networking activities, mentoring and training. In Finland, state-owned companies or state associate companies are required to increase the number of women to 40 %, a goal which has been reached. When it comes to private companies, a new corporate government code published in 2008 states that there should be women and men on all company boards. However, the development of the proportion of women' on the boards of private companies has been modest. Other MS report on higher female representation in management positions than in elected bodies (LT). Some MS provide little information on the issue of women and men in decision-making and report on few activities (BG, RO, CZ). 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 108 ANNEX DG G EN
