The Parliament permanently adopted, on May 15, 2008, a law fully transposing five anti-discrimination directives. The Commission blamed French law for several deficiencies, which are now solved with this law. (Ref. 080405)
The law aims at transposing – within the deadline given, i.e. August 15, 2008 – parts of the provisions of Directive 2006/54 of July 5, 2006 on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation, which recasts former directives. In addition, it transposes into internal law Directive 2004/113 EC of December 13, 2004 implementing the principle of equal treatment between men and women in the access to and supply of goods and services, although the deadline for its transposition was December 21, 2007.
