The European Parliament adopted the report by Heidi Hautala (Greens, Finland) based on the decision of the committee responsible (please refer to previous document). The amendments to the definitions include a distinction between sexual harassment and harassment on the gounds of sex. Positive measures at the workplace must provide for specific advantages in order to make it easier for the under-represented sex to pursue a vocational activity, or to prevent or compensate for disadvantages in professional careers. The possibility of class actions, where this is allowed by national legal systems, is also provided for.�
