The proportion of female executive Directors is particularly low (10% in 2013 compared to 17% among non-executives). Therefore the key articles of the Directive related to adjustment of the selection procedure should apply to all Directors.

A Member State which before the entry into force of this Directive has sought to achieve a more balanced representation of women and men among the non-executive directors or among the directors (executive and non-executive) generally of listed companies may suspend the application of Article 4, 5 and 6 of this Directive in respect of listed companies which are public companies if it considers that members of the under-represented sex will, on average, hold at least 40 per cent of the non-executive positions or one third of the director (executive and non-executive) positions generally of such companies by at the latest 1 January 2020, or ...[+++] at the latest 1 January 2018 for listed companies which are public undertakings.

27. Notes that the former Executive Director of the Agency wrote to the Agency on 28 December 2010 outlining the activities which he was intending to take up at the end of his term of office; considers the first decision of 11 January 2011, taken by the Chairman of the Agency Management Board, to authorise the new activities of the former Executive Director of the Agency to be a breach of Union rules relating to conflicts of interest, in particular with regard to Title II, Article 16, of the Staff Regulations of the Officials of the European Communities; recalls that according to Title II, Article 11, and title IV, Article 91, of the C ...[+++]onditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities, this provision applies by analogy to temporary agents and to contract employees; considers the fact that the Management Board adopted limitations on the future activities of the former Executive Director on 17 March 2011 - only after strong public protest - to be clear proof that the Agency did initially not apply the Staff Regulations properly, which in turn raises serious questions about their application of the rules in general; asks the Executive Director to present a detailed report on the implementation of Article 16 of the Staff Regulations within the Agency;

Thus, for example, members of the under-represented sex should hold at least one position on boards with three or four non-executive directors, at least two positions on boards with five or six non-executive directors, and at least three positions on boards with seven or eight non-executive directors.
