policies; expert network reports on gender inequalities and the risks of poverty and social exclusion and on ethnic minority and Roma women, each covering 30 European countries 14 ; a study on lone parent households; and the promotion of gender equality in Commission communications, such as on active inclusion 15 and in Commission Staff Working Papers, such as on Roma inclusion 16 . It is also planned to promote gender mainstreaming in the activities of the European Year on Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion 2010 17 . 2.3.3. Gender mainstreaming in the European Structural Funds During the new programming period 2007-2013, the Regulation for the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund dedicates a specific article (Art. 16) to “Equality between men and women and non discrimination”. This Article, laying down general provisions for the Structural Funds, states that the Member States and the Commission shall ensure that equality between women and men and the integration of the gender perspective is promoted during the various stages of implementing the funds. In particular, Articles 2 and 4(5) of the European Social Fund Regulation refer to the promotion of gender equality. Article 3(b)(iii) specifies “mainstreaming and specific action to improve access to employment and increase sustainable participation and progress of women in employment, and to eliminate direct and indirect gender-based segregation in the labour market inter alia by addressing the root causes of the gender pay gaps”. Article 6 requests Member States to promote, in their operational programmes, gender equality and equal opportunities and to include a description of how this is organised throughout the policy cycle, i.e. in preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. In addition Article 10 contains an obligation for Member States to report on the implementation of gender mainstreaming and on any gender-specific action. 14 http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=748&langId=en 15 The common principles and guidelines have been endorsed by the Council in its conclusions of 17.12.2008 "on common active inclusion principles to combat poverty more effectively". 16 SEC(2008)2172 – Community Instruments and Policies for Roma Inclusion 17 Decision N° 1098/2008 of the European Parliament and the Council adopted on 22 October 2008 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 22 ANNEX DG G EN
Gender equality issues are cross-cutting principles applicable to all ESF priorities. However, making gender equality exclusively a cross-cutting principle risks overlooking the need for positive actions. Taking gender mainstreaming seriously therefore means adopting a combination of both. In this framework, the programming strategy of the Member States should integrate gender mainstreaming into every step of policy processes, and should be applied as a cross-cutting, horizontal principle, incorporating the gender dimension into all stages of the programming, implementation and evaluation process. To ensure that the Member States implement those provisions, the "Community strategic guidelines on Cohesion" were adopted on 6 October 2006 and a “Framework for integrating the principle of Gender Equality in the new ESF programmes” has also been drawn up. In addition, to reinforce the partnership regarding this subject, the High Level Group on Gender Mainstreaming in the Structural Funds has been meeting regularly since 2004. The members of the Group are high-level officials from the Managing Authorities of all the Member States of the European Union. The High Level Group contributes to the development of tools and mechanisms to integrate the gender dimension at every stage of the regional and cohesion policy process. It acts as a network to give input on gender mainstreaming to the authorities managing the Structural Funds. Nevertheless, many challenges remain to be solved before gender mainstreaming is effectively implemented in the Structural Funds. 2.3.4. Gender mainstreaming in selected policy areas Science and Research policies The instrument with which the Commission funds scientific research and technological development, the Seventh Framework Programme, takes gender equality into account. It also promotes gender analysis of the research content. A training toolkit has been prepared and events organised to raise awareness in the scientific community about the gender aspects of the various scientific domains. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 23 ANNEX DG G EN
