Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The principle of equal treatment for men and women and secondary legislation based on this, underpin the fact that access to employment should be equal and the intention of EURES is to be a tool for recruitment of workers based on non-discrimination and equal treatment.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) In order to achieve the employment and poverty reduction headline targets of the EU 2020 strategy and to close persisting gender gaps in terms of unemployment, with an EU-28 employment rate of 62,5% for women in 2013 against 74,2% for men, each initiative meant to address unemployment should also facilitate the equal treatment of men and women on the labour market. Whilst female workers may overall be equally mobile as men, mobility represents different challenges to them, as women are often found in lower hierarchical positions and as maternity and care responsibilities have a significant impact on their labour mobility.

(5a) In order to allow for appropriate support to be given to all workers by the EURES network, it is important that information covers all types of workers, including, in particular, a sensitivity to age and gender, so that data exposes differences in challenges and attitudes that citizens may encounter when confronted with labour mobility.

Recital 10
(10) The social partners' participation in the EURES network contributes in particular to the analysis of obstacles to mobility as well as the promotion of fair and voluntary labour mobility within the Union, including in the cross-border regions and for the equal benefit of women and men. Social partners representatives at Union level should therefore be involved in the overall governance structure of the EURES network, while national employers' organisations, organisations addressing specific needs of groups of citizens - such as women, and trade unions may apply to become a EURES Partner.

(21) A common approach to the services delivered by the organisations ('support services') participating in the EURES network should be established and the principle of equal treatment of workers and employers seeking assistance on intra- Union labour mobility, regardless of their location in the Union or of their gender, should be secured as much as possible, and therefore principles and rule, rules and gender- disaggregated data-sets should be established regarding the availability of support services in the territory of the individual Member States. This common approach also covers apprenticeships and traineeships considered as work.

Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) A wider and more comprehensive choice of assistance on intra-Union labour mobility opportunities benefits workers, and it is needed to improve the EURES network's potential to provide support to workers throughout their entire working life, securing their transitions, including temporary periods of unemployment, which often occur to mothers, and careers.

(32) In order to obtain adequate information for measuring the results of the EURES network, common, gender- disaggregated, indicators should be established. Those indicators should guide the organisations participating in the EURES network in identifying their results and should help assess the progress made against the objectives set for the EURES network as a whole, including its contribution towards the implementation of a coordinated strategy for employment in accordance with Article 145 of the Treaty.
