Special events - GITF_Women and Finance - The pay and pensions gap (by invitation only)

Date: 
21 Sep 2017 08.30 - 21 Sep 2017 10.00
Gender Initiatives Task Force
All Committees

Business leaders, academics, policymakers, and society in general acknowledge that we need to fully engage the global female workforce. The issue of gender pay inequality is widely recognised, but not yet closed, and the significant long-term effect of the difference between the pension savings of men and women is still underestimated. At the current rate, it will take another 170 years to achieve economic gender equality. Now is the time to act. Please join us for an interactive discussion between women and men, public and private sector, about how to speed up the process and close the gaps in terms of pay, pensions and overall financial wellness.

Release of European Public Opinion Survey

Collective Actions and

Third Party Litigation Funding

The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform (ILR), AmCham EU, BusinessEurope, and EUROCHAMBRES are pleased to invite you to the release of ILR’s European public opinion survey on collective (class) actions and third party litigation funding (TPLF). The release event will take place in Brussels on Thursday 28 September at 09.00.

Vera Jourová, EU Commissioner for Justice and Consumers Affairs, will give the keynote address.

ILR commissioned this survey in six EU Member States to provide data on consumer support for safeguards in collective actions and TPLF, and potential EU action. The survey is being released in conjunction with the European Commission’s review of its 2013 Recommendation on Collective Redress. In September 2017, the Commission will issue its review report and based on its findings the Commission is expected to propose EU legislation on collective actions.
