Details

The rapporteur was delighted that the United Kingdom had decided to participate in the directive on the reversal of the burden of proof in cases of sexual discrimination. Regretting that the Council had not taken over Parliament’s amendments, Mrs Ghigliardotti had decided to re-table at second reading those amendments which she regarded as fundamental. Commissioner Flynn criticised the Council’s position with regard to defining the concept of discrimination. The four elements cited by the Court of Justice and included in the base proposal had not been fully taken over in the common position. As regards the scope of the directive, he considered that shifting the burden of proof was a general principle which should be applied to all social legislation. The Commissioner said that the Commission could accept the amendments which strengthened the central provisions of the common position, namely Amendments Nos 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8. However, he rejected Amendments Nos 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 and also Amendments Nos 11 and 12, which contradicted Amendments Nos 1 and 6.

Details

The key amendments cited by the rapporteur included the amendment to Article 2, which introduced for the first time the definition of indirect discrimination in accordance with the Court of Justice’s ‘Bilka’ judgment (Case 170/84 [1986] ECR I‑1607), and the amendments to Article 4 which highlighted one of the fundamental elements in shifting the burden of proof, namely transparency, and which referred to the ‘Danfoss’ judgment (Case 109/88 [1989] ECR I-3199). Commissioner Flynn said that the Commission was prepared to accept most of the amendments, particularly those updating the text of the base proposal, those strengthening the definition of indirect discrimination, those on the implementation date (1 January 2000 instead of 1 January 2001) and the principle of a final report on the application of the directive.

Commissioner Flynn said that the Commission was prepared to accept most of the amendments, particularly those updating the text of the base proposal, those strengthening the definition of indirect discrimination, those on the implementation date (1 January 2000 instead of 1 January 2001) and the principle of a final report on the application of the directive.

Regretting that the Council had not taken over Parliament’s amendments, Mrs Ghigliardotti had decided to re-table at second reading those amendments which she regarded as fundamental. Commissioner Flynn criticised the Council’s position with regard to defining the concept of discrimination. The four elements cited by the Court of Justice and included in the base proposal had not been fully taken over in the common position. As regards the scope of the directive, he considered that shifting the burden of proof was a general principle which should be applied to all social legislation. The Commissioner said that the Commission could accept the amendments which strengthened the central provisions of the common position, namely Amendments Nos 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8. However, he rejected Amendments Nos 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 and also Amendments Nos 11 and 12, which contradicted Amendments Nos 1 and 6.
