註釋Gender mainstreaming has significant potential to promote gender equality, as it aims to transform both formal and informal dimensions of institutions. Within the European Union (EU), there is a constitutional commitment to gender mainstreaming across all the EU’s policies and activities (Article 8 TFEU). This European Policy Analysis presents five dimensions along which the institutionalisation of gender mainstreaming in the European Commission can be assessed: formalised adoption; structures and procedures; quality; accountability and compliance; and stability. In applying this framework to the Commission’s mainstreaming activity, the weaknesses in the Commission’s institutionalisation of gender mainstreaming are exposed.Five barriers to the institutionalisation of mainstreaming are identified and discussed, including the Commission’s “masculine” culture, weaknesses in the institutional ownership and oversight of gender mainstreaming and the failure to promote effective gender mainstreaming through the “Better Regulation Agenda”. Although there are examples of good practice within the Commission, the authors point to the need to transform not only the Commission’s policy activity but the Commission as an organisation itself. The analysis is concluded with six recommendations for the successful promotion and institutionalisation of gender mainstreaming.
