Typographical Correction to the Chapter
In the reproduction of Nevada Department of Human Resources v. Hibbs there is a typographical error
on page 309. In the first full paragraph, the final sentence currently reads “The Ninth Court reversed.”
The correct sentence should read “The Ninth Circuit reversed.” 538 U.S. 721, 725 (2003). Please see
the correct version on page 725 of this document.

**Effect and purpose of this Directive:
Effect:
This Directive consolidates in one document four prior directives concerning equal treatment for women and men in employment, pay, and occupational social security schemes, and as to burdens of proof. It also incorporates further amendments, some of which stem from decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities. As part of the consolidation, this Directive repeals the prior directives. The 1976 Equal Treatment Directive [ETD], as amended by the 2002 Directive, remains on this website, however, because the Court of Justice case law in Chapters Seven and Eight interprets the first, and Women's Human Rights contains questions concerning the second. The substance of the 1976 ETD, as amended by the 2002 ETD, remains the same in the 2006 ETD as to the issues studied in these chapters. See especially Articles 14-16 and 23 of the 2006 ETD, for the substance covered by Chapters Seven and Eight of Women's Human Rights.
Purpose:
“The purpose of this Directive is to ensure the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation.
To that end, it contains provisions to implement the principle of equal treatment in relation to:
(a) access to employment, including promotion, and to
vocational training;
(b) working conditions, including pay;
(c) occupational social security schemes.
It also contains provisions to ensure that such implementation is made more effective by the establishment of appropriate procedures.” -- Council Directive 2006/54/EC, art. 1 2006 O.J. (L 204/23) (EC).
