Anne Lauvergeon, president of the Areva group's executive board and Bart Samyn, the European metalworkers' Federation's assistant secretary-general, signed on November 16, 2006, a European agreement on equal opportunities, which covers non discrimination in the employment process and equality in accessing professional advance. The agreement in particular addresses the questions of equality between men and women as well as the employment of physically-challenged people. (Ref. 061207)
E-europnews managed to get a copy of the agreement from a signatory union. It underlines “the specificity of the method used at a European level: the European group council, represented by the bureau, realized, in cooperation with management, a prerequisite analyze for the different entities concerned, in order to ascertain the identity of the group’s practices, and thus to define practical and volunteer goals.” This European diagnosis aims at gathering data figures and good practices in the 13 countries covered by the European WC agreement of December 3, 2003.
