[7] Grosse-Brömer later devised a compromise on legally binding rules to ensure more women sit on corporate boards after some of his parliamentary group's lawmakers,led by Labor Minister Ursula von der Leyen,threatened to vote for the opposition-sponsored proposal to reserve as many as 40 percent of board seats for women. Under the agreement,at least 30 percent of the supervisory board of publicly traded companies must be reserved for women from 2020. [8]
