Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) In line with the European Strategy for Gender Equality 2010-2015, the decision to include this goal as a horizontal factor in all EU policies and its progressive introduction are in themselves decisive factors in social innovation. Recent reports presented by the Commission itself on the extent of compliance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as governance and sustainability studies by the World Bank and the United Nations, show that the incorporation of women into the labour market and, in particular, equality in political decision-making, encourage transparency and participation and reduce corruption. Thus, the participation of women in enterprise and decision-making in the economic and business spheres is a proven factor in improving competitiveness, productivity and innovation.
