The European Commissioner for Equality is a post in the European Commission. The portfolio was previously combined with Justice as Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality under commissioner is Věra Jourová; however, the two portfolios were split in December 2019. Helena Dalli serves as Equality Commissioner.[1][2]
Portfolio
The post was created in 2010 by splitting the previous Justice, Freedom and Security portfolio into a justice post (the subject covered here) and a security post: the Commissioner for Home Affairs. This split was made as a concession to the liberals in the European Parliament to gain their support for the second Barroso Commission.
