欧盟（EU）大型上市公司董事会中女性董事的数量非常少，在公司董事会中男女平等参与和代表权方面的进展极其缓慢。在最近的全球金融危机之后，企业董事会缺乏性别多样性变得不那么合理了。为了响应变革的明显需要，一些欧洲国家和欧盟已经采取或提议采取各种积极的行动措施，旨在解决公司董事会中的性别不平衡问题。本文比较和对比了法国和欧盟在公司董事会中实现更好的性别平衡所采用的方法。它质疑法国措施在欧盟内部的适用性，并建议法国的做法符合欧盟法律，而且在其对执行董事和非执行董事的覆盖范围方面也很广泛。可以说，它支持了从性别平等向影响公民生活的实体的更广泛的民主合法性的转变。因此，法国的做法比拟议中的欧盟指令走得更远，它有可能被用作欧盟内部的典范。
The number of female directors on the boards of large listed companies in the European Union (EU) is very low and progress towards equal participation and representation of women and men on company boards has been extremely slow. In the aftermath of the recent global financial crisis, the lack of gender diversity on corporate boards has become less justifiable. In response to the clear need for change, a number of European countries and the EU have adopted or proposed the introduction of various positive action measures designed to tackle the gender imbalance on corporate boards. This article compares and contrasts the methods used in France and the EU to achieve a better gender balance on company boards. It questions the applicability of the French measures within the EU and suggests that the French approach is compatible with EU law and is also wide reaching in its coverage of executive as well as non-executive directors. It arguably underpins a shift from gender equality to a broader approach of democratic legitimacy for entities that affect citizens' life. As such, the French approach goes further than the proposed EU directive and it has the potential to be used as a model within the EU.
