Abstract
The realization of sex equality has been the central and most highly developed pillar of the European Community’s fragile social policy. For the Commission, equal opportunities is the ‘legal framework reflecting social policy at European level [which] has been a catalyst for change in the Member States’. The importance of equal opportunities to the Community is underlined in the Commission’s vision of a ‘European social model’. This is based around the ‘values of democracy and individual rights, free collective bargaining, the market economy, equality of opportunity for all and social welfare and solidarity’. Equal opportunities also appears as one of the four pillars around which the employment guidelines, intended to co-ordinate Member States’ employment policies from 1998, are structured.
