VIVIANE Reding, vice president of the European Commission, visited Oxford Brookes University yesterday to host a debate on ways of improving the representation of women on company boards.

Mr Reding, who is from Luxembourg, was at the university’s Harcourt Hill campus from 1.30pm where she outlined her recent proposal for European legislation to boost gender equality on corporate boards.

The proposed European law will introduce better transparency in the selection of the best candidates.
