Katharina Radloff 
Women’s Quotas under EU Equality Law 

Support
The purpose of this study is to investigate legislation and leading cases concerning positive discrimination in the European Union, with a particular focus on the recent debate about the most radical positive action measure: the implementation of women’s quotas by supranational legislation.
This study seeks to answer the question if such a radical derogation from the equal treatment principle can be tolerated, keeping in mind the fundamental character of this principle in European law. The concept of substantive equality will be analysed and set against the ECJ case law under review. It will be criticised that the ECJ focused once more on a formalist approach and allows for positive action measures only to a very limited extent. If the European Union would impose women’s quotas for board members via supranational legislation, would this still be considered as a measure of positive discrimination or would it rather be a form of negative discrimination against men?

About the author

Katharina Radloff, geboren 1987, entschied sich nach ihrem Bachelor Studium der European Studies und der
internationalen Rechtswissenschaft in den Niederlanden und der Schweiz für ein Masterstudium (LLM) in European Laws an der Maastricht University, welches sie 2011 mit summa cum laude Auszeichnung beendete.
Ihr besonderes Interesse galt dabei der Beziehung von nationalem zu Europäischem Recht, vor allem den Bereichen Arbeitsrecht und Gender Studies. Die anhaltende, europaweite Diskussion über Quoten für mehr Frauen in Führungspositionen gab den Anstoß zu dieser Studie, die im Juni 2011 fertig gestellt wurde. Seit September 2011 arbeitet Katharina Radloff in Brüssel und Berlin im Bereich der Public Affairs und der Interessensvertretung.
