during the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All (2007), organising, for instance, a seminar on multiple discrimination in the labour market, a Diversity Week, etc. Similar activities have been organised in the Czech Republic, for instance, the Minister for Human Rights and Minorities took part in 2007 in a public discussion on equal opportunities for women and men with special focus on the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All. The goal was to raise public awareness with respect to the anti-discrimination legislation put forward by the EU and to promote balanced reflection on all reasons for discrimination. In Portugal the government has created a national body for the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All, integrating the public administration and NGO's. A National Action Plan was developed and initiatives such as 23 municipal assemblies, a travelling exhibition, regional awards and seminars were implemented.

The strategic objectives from the Platform for Action The critical area J was reserved for women and the media at the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995. Two strategic objectives were linked with the area: • J 1. Increase the participation and access of women to expression and decision-making in and through the media and new technologies of communication • J 2. Promote a balanced and non-stereotyped portrayal of women in the media. 4.10.2. Availability and relevance of EU-wide indicators At the current stage, no specific indicators have been defined by the European Union in this domain. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 114 ANNEX DG G EN
4.10.3. EU policy on eliminating gender stereotypes The field has recently been addressed by the EU. In the Commission's Report on equality between women and men – 2008 the need for MS to step up efforts to tackle stereotypes in education, employment and the media is identified. On 15 May 2007, Germany, Portugal and Slovenia signed a Trio Presidency Declaration on the promotion of gender equality in the European Union, identifying the elimination of gender stereotypes as the connecting theme of the gender equality work undertaken by the Trio Presidency. Also, the challenges faced by women and men in response to changing the gender role models was one of the key issues addressed at the Informal Meeting of Ministers of Gender Equality and Family Affairs under Germany's Presidency in May 2007. A European expert conference on “Entrepreneurship and Employability – Gender Stereotypes” was organised by Portugal's Presidency in 2007, and a Europe-wide conference entitled “Elimination of Gender Stereotypes – Mission (Im)Possible?” was organised by Slovenia's Presidency in January 2008. The Czech Republic's Presidency pursued the debate on this issue and also organised a European expert conference on "New ways in overcoming gender stereotypes". In May 2008, the Council adopted conclusions on “Eliminating Gender Stereotypes in Society” in which it concluded that the media, including the advertising industry, contributed to the reproduction of culturally transmitted stereotypes and images of women and men. Therefore, the Council concluded, it was necessary to develop critical media education in schools, and, while taking into account the freedom of expression of the media, to establish a dialogue with the media on the harmful effects of negative gender stereotypes on the self-perception of young people and on their perceptions of gender roles and relations in society. The media was also described as having an important role to play in combating gender stereotypes and in promoting a non-discriminatory and realistic portrayal of girls/women and boys/men in society. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 115 ANNEX DG G EN
