APPENDIX II:

Overview of measures carried out since 1998 to realise the concept of equal rights

1.) Statutes

April 1998The Act on Equality under Inheritance law (Erbrechts­gleichstellungsgesetz) enters into force on 1 April 1998. This Act affords to children whose fathers are not married to their mothers full inheritance rights in addition to the other relatives of the father. Previously, a child whose father was not married to the mother was only entitled to a substitute inheritance right in money.

July 1998The Act Amending the Civil Code and the Labour Courts Act (Gesetz zur Änderung des Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches und des Arbeitsgerichts­gesetzes) enters into force on 3 July 1998. The Act is in response to the judgment of the European Court of Justice dated 22 April 1997 (file ref. C-180-95), in which the Court reached the conclusion that the regulations extant in Germany concerning equal treatment of men and women when initiating employment were in part incompatible with European law. In German law, an employer must provide compensation if they have acted in a discriminatory manner when initiating employment. The compensation provided for by section 611a subsection 2 of the Civil Code (BGB) is designed to be irrespective of guilt. The employer is also liable for the misconduct of persons acting on their behalf in filling the post for them.

July 1998The Act Reforming the Law of Parent and Child (Kindschaftsrechts­reformgesetz) and the Legal Assistance Act (Beistandschaftsgesetz) enter into force. The Act Reforming the Law of Parent and Child eliminates almost all differences in the treatment of children born within and outside wedlock. For the first time, parents who are not married to one another may assume parental custody of their children jointly. Under parentage law, the mother of the child has stronger rights in recognising and disputing paternity: Recognition of paternity is only effective with her consent; the mother of the child receives her own right to dispute paternity. The ex officio guardianship of the youth welfare office for children born out of wedlock is replaced by legal assistance described as an offer of assistance by the youth welfare offices to be accepted on a voluntary basis for establishing paternity and maintenance.

December 1998The Act to Protect Witnesses in Questioning in Criminal Proceedings and to Improve Victim Protection - Witness Protection Act (Gesetz zum Schutz von Zeugen bei Vernehmungen im Strafverfahren und zur Verbesserung des Opferschutzes - Zeugenschutzgesetz) enters into force on 1 December 1998. The Witness Protection Act improves the possibilities of a accessory prosecution incidental to criminal proceedings. Furthermore, the use of video technology is introduced in criminal proceedings. Stressful repeat questioning sessions can thus be avoided, and victims can be spared the oppressive hearing atmosphere of the courtroom and the confrontation with the tormentor. Moreover, it was provided that under certain circumstances counsel for the witness for questioning or counsel for the victim could be appointed at the expense cost of the state for the duration of the proceedings.

January 1999 Amendment to the Federal Child Benefit Act (Bundes ­kindergeld ­gesetz)

The child benefit for the first and second child increased as on 1 January 1999 and is DM 250 each (= € 127.82) per month.

August 1999The Second Act Amending Book III of the Social Code (Zweites Gesetz zur Änderung des Sozialgesetzbuches III - SGB III) enters into force on 1 August 1999. Improvements relevant to women were made in labour promotion law.

January 2000 Amendment to the Federal Child Benefit Act

The child benefit for the first and second child is increased as on 1 January 2000 and is DM 270 each (= € 138.05) per month.Introduction of a care allowance of DM 3,024 (= € 1,546.15) for children up to the age of 16. Together with the previous child allowance amounting to DM 6,912 (= € 3,534.05) the fiscal allowances for children are increased to DM 9,936 (= € 5,080) .

January 2000 Judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ)declares statutory regulations in Germany excluding women from the voluntary armed service in the Armed Forces to be incompatible with the European equal treatment directive 76/207/EEC.

June 2000 Act Amending the Aliens Act (Gesetz zur Änderung des Ausländer­gesetzes) enters into force on 1 June 2000. Section 19 of the Aliens Act governs the independent right of residence of foreign spouses in the event of the dissolution of the marital community. Foreign spouses now receive their own right of residence in the event of separation after two years, instead of the previous four. The hardship clause, in accordance with which an independent right of residence may be awarded before this period expires, has also been redesigned.

July 2000 Judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ)confirms the compatibility with European equal treatment directive 76/207/EEC of measures to promote equal opportunities for women and men, in particular by eliminating the de facto inequalities harming women's opportunities.

November 2000 Act to Outlaw Violence in Education and Amending the Law on Child Maintenance (Gesetz zur Ächtung der Gewalt in der Erziehung und zur Änderung des Kindesunterhaltsrechts). TheAct pronounces a right for children to be brought up without violence and prohibits physical punishment, emotional injury and other humiliating actions.

December 2000The Amendment of Article 12a para. 4 second sentence of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz)enters into force on23 December 2000. Voluntary service by women using firearms in the Federal Armed Forces now has a constitutional basis, and women are enabled to gain access to all fields of the armed forces.

January 2001 New regulations on the Federal Child-Raising Benefit Act (Bundes­erziehungs­geldgesetz) enter into force on 1 January 2001. They apply to children born or adopted after 1 January 2001. The entry into force of the new Act replaces the term child-raising leave with the new designation parental leave. The amendments to the Federal Child-Raising Benefit Act improve the framework for the compatibility of family and work and the financial situation of families:

For the first time since 1986, the income limits for child-raising benefit have been increased. Child-raising benefit is now also offered as a budget (higher amount – shorter term).

For the first time, mothers and fathers may take parental leave (previously referred to as child-raising leave) at the same time within an unchanged duration of a maximum of three years.

On principle both parents have a legal right to work part-time during parental leave, which applies in companies with more than 15 employees. Mothers and fathers may now work up to 30 hours per week each instead of the previous 19. This opens up to parents, and to fathers in particular, new possibilities of sharing gainful employment and family work.

There is a right to return to the previous working hours on expiry of parental leave.

There is a possibility to take a year's parental leave between the child's third and eighth birthdays if the employer agrees.

January 2001The Act on Part-Time Working and F ixed-Term Employment Contracts (Gesetz über Teilzeitarbeit und befristete Arbeitsverträge) enters into force on 1 January 2001. This Act grants for the first time a general legal entitlement to work part-time in private industry in companies with more than 15 employees if no operational reasons exist opposing this.

March 2001 Entry into force of the "Brussels II Ordinance", which in all EU Member States apart from Denmark creates uniform regulations as to court jurisdiction and the recognition and execution of rulings in marital matters and in proceedings regarding parental responsibility of both parents for their children.

July 2001The Ninth Book of the Social Code (Neuntes Sozialgesetzbuch IX)enters into force on 1 July 2001. The main concern of the Ninth Book of the Social Code is to coordinate the services and cooperation of the service-providers by means of effective tools. The goal of the social services is to promote social participation by persons living with and threatened by disabilities, in particular at work.

July 2001The Act to Reform the Works Constitution Act (Gesetz zur Reform des Betriebsverfassungsgesetzes) enters into force on 28 July 2001. It improves equal opportunities of women and men in companies.

August 2001The Life Partnerships Act (Lebenspartnerschaftsgesetz) enters into force on 1 August 2001.

Homosexual couples can have their partnership officially registered. Same-sex life partners are recognised as family members. They are obliged to care for and support one another, to plan their lives together, and they enter into maintenance obligations towards one another.

December 2001The Federal Act on Implementing the Concept of Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (Gesetz zur Durchsetzung der Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern - Bundesgleichstellungsdurchsetzungsgesetz) enters into force on 5 December 2001. This Act makes it possible to give preference to women with the same aptitude, qualifications and professional achievements in training, recruitment and promotion in areas where women are underrepresented, taking account of individual cases. It entails improvements in reconciling family and work and provides both for the promotion of equality as an express task for all employees with managerial functions and provides more competences for the equality commissioners. It contains further regulations on part-time work. Thus, posts with superior and management functions are also to be advertised to be filled on a part-time basis unless compelling official reasons stand in the way of this. Furthermore, it is to be made easier for part-time public servants with family duties to return to full-time employment.

January 2002 Amendment to the Federal Child Benefit Act

Child benefit is increased as on 1 January 2002 and is now also for the first and second child as previously already for the third child Euro 154 each per month. From the fourth child benefit is Euro 179 each per month.

January 2002The Act to Improve Civil Court Protection in the Event of Violent Acts and Unwelcome Advances, as well as to Facilitate Relinquishment of the Marital Home in the Event of Separation - Act to Protect Against Violence (Gesetz zur Verbesserung des zivilgerichtlichen Schutzes bei Gewalttaten und Nachstellungen sowie zur Erleichterung der Überlassung der Ehewohnung bei Trennung – Gewaltschutzgesetz) enters into force. In addition to introducing the simplified relinquishment of the marital home, it also contains express regulations for a ban on contact, harassment and coming close. If violent acts have taken place in close social proximity, the Act gives a right to relinquishment of the home, if the offender and victim – in most cases the women - had established a joint household in the long term.

January 2002The Act to Improve the Legal and Social Situation of Prostitutes (Gesetz zur Verbesserung der rechtlichen und sozialen Situation der Prostituierten) enters into force. Prostitutes now have the legal possibility to exercise their work either on a self-employed basis under good working conditions which they establish themselves, or in dependent employment with social insurance. The punishability of promotion of prostitution and of pimping was restricted to cases of exploitation of the personal and economic dependence of prostitutes.

January 2002 The Job AQTIV Act (Job-AQTIV-Gesetz) enters into force on 1 January 2002. Aqtiv stands for the German words meaning Activating, Qualifying, Training, Investing and Communicating. The goal of the Act is to promote the equality of women and men on the labour market by expanding specific labour market policy measures for women. Furthermore, the Job AQTIV Act contributes towards better reconciliation of family and work. This goal is served by increasing the allowances for childcare costs (€ 130 per child per month) if unemployed persons take part in measures of occupational basic and further training. From 2003 onwards for persons subject to obligatory social insurance, the gap periods related to maternity benefit and childcare up until the child's third birthday apply once more as contribution periods in unemployment insurance.

January 2002 The Reform of the Advancement Further Training Assistance Act ("Meister-BAFöG") enters into force on 1 January 2002. Better promotion conditions now apply to families with children and to single parents.

January 2002 Ratification of the Optional Protocol to the United Nations CEDAW Convention by the Federal Government on 15 January 2002. The CEDAW Optional Protocolenters into force for the Federal Republic three months after ratification, i.e. on 15 April 2002.

April 2002The Act to further Improve Children's Rights – Children's Rights Improvement Act (Gesetz zur weiteren Verbesserung von Kinderrechten - Kinderrechteverbesserungsgesetz)enters into force on 12 April 2002. In particular it facilitates the removal of violent persons from the immediate environment of the child.

May 2002The Act on Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons (Gesetz zur Gleich­stellung behinderter Menschen - BGG) enters into force on 1 May 2002. The Act on Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons opens up to disabled persons new possibilities for self-determination and equal participation in social life. By creating barrier-free environments on a broad scale and prohibiting discrimination by those exercising governmental power, the prohibition of discrimination contained in Article 3 of the Basic Law was comprehensively implemented. To enforce equal rights for women and men, the special concerns of disabled women are to be taken into account and the existing discrimination eliminated (section 2 BGG Disabled women). Furthermore, it is made clear that special measures are permissible here to promote the de facto enforcement of equal rights for women with disabilities and to eliminate existing discrimination.

June 2002The Amendment to the Maternity Protection Act (Mutterschutzgesetz) enters into force on 20 June 2002. The maternity protection period for all mothers totals at least 14 weeks, i.e. including those who give birth earlier than expected. It was additionally clarified that the bans on employment under the law on maternity protection count as working hours for calculating leave.

2.) Other measures and events with relevance in terms of policy on equal rights (since May 1998)

May 1998The Second Report of the Federal Government on the Proportion of Women in major Bodies within the Sphere of Influence of the Federation (Zweiter Bericht der Bundesregierung über den Anteil von Frauen in wesentlichen Gremien im Einflussbereich des Bundes)is submitted to the German Federal Parliament.

June 1999 Adoption of the "Women and work" programme . TheFederal Government's "Women and work" programme includes amongst others measures on the promotion of women in private industry, awards to exemplary enterprises which are earned by structuring of working hours, establishing childcare facilities or targeted promotion of women, such as by the Total E-Quality prize or the family and work audit. The stage has been set for small start-ups, for instance, with the German Equalisation Bank's new STARTGELD loan programme, which targets the promotion of women starting up in business. Further measures serve to expand the application spectrum for young women, especially in the IT sector. A further goal is to improve the framework for reconciliation of family and work for mothers and fathers, whilst at the same time encouraging a new perception for men. This includes making child-raising leave flexible and increasing the income limits for receipt of child-raising benefit. This legal amendment is accompanied by a campaign targeting fathers.

December 1999With the Plan of Action to Combat Violence against Women, the Federal Government for the first time submitted a comprehensive overall concept for all levels of the fight against violence. This is intended to achieve structural changes: From prevention, through work with offenders and better networking of assistance offerings for victims through to legal measures such as the Act to protect against Violence for women and greater awareness-creation among the public. The "Act to protect against Violence" provides for simplified relinquishment of the marital dwelling and statutory regulations for a ban on contact, harassment and coming close imposed on the violent partner. The Plan of Action strengthens cooperation between state institutions and non-governmental projects, promoting the national networking of assistance offerings and the relatively recent area of work with offenders.

September 2000 Amendment of the Joint Rules of Procedure (Gemeinsame Geschäfts­ordnung der Bundesministerien) as on 1 September 2000. (GMBl. p. 526).
