Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
6. Deeply regrets that,having regard to the number of all posts occupied on 31 December 2016, gender balance has not been achieved since the ratio is more than two to one - 32,4 % female to 67,6 % male - and that, even more alarming, female staff represented only 14 % in senior specialist / senior analyst positions and that moreover, with the worst ratio of all, the percentage of female staff in business manager and equivalent or higher positions was only 6,1 % (two members of staff); calls on Europol to be more proactive, and to take the gender balance issue into account as a matter of urgency when recruiting new staff and to inform the discharge authority during the next discharge procedure of the progress made at the end of 2017;
