At the last moment, the rapporteur – who tabled an amendment contrary to the agreement we had reached – wanted to reinsert a provision to the effect that discrimination against men and women in the context of reconciling family and career duties counts as discrimination for the purposes of the directive. This would have no benefit at all, apart from encouraging litigation, and especially litigation advocated by people who exploit woolly provisions of this kind.
À la dernière minute, le rapporteur a de nouveau voulu inscrire dans le texte - elle a introduit un amendement qui va à l’encontre de notre accord - que les préjudices portés à un homme et à une femme, en rapport avec la concordance de la vie professionnelle et familiale, sont considérés comme une discrimination.
