Article 10 – paragraph 1
Article 10 – paragraph 1
The Commission and the Member States shall ensure that equality between men and women and the integration of the gender perspective are promoted during the various stages of the implementation of the financial contribution. The Commission and the Member State shall take appropriate steps to prevent any discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation and type of contract of employment or employment relationship in access to and during the various stages of the implementation of the financial contribution. In applying for and using resources from the European Globalisation Fund, a Member State shall particularly support the more vulnerable groups in society, including women, in whose case the significant gender pay gap also affects the amount of employment insurance benefits, while long-term unemployment further reduces pensions.
