The European Commission welcome contributions from all citizens and stakeholders, including NGOS to its public consultation in the policy fields of gender equality, justice and social security.

It is a part of the evaluation of the Council Directive 79/7/EEC on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security under the recently adopted Commission’s Better Regulation Framework. It will be used to collect the views of the broad public in the context of evaluating the implementation and application of Directive 79/7/EEC.

The feedback on the implementation and application of Directive 79/7/EEC will be instrumental for the Commission’s reflections as to whether to propose action in relation to the modernisation of this Directive and the form it could take.
