According to the provisions of the Gender Impact Report contained in the Regulatory Impact Analysis Report12 drafted by the Technical General Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, the disciplinary draft bill “contains all the possible offences that infringe on the effective equality of men and women and the non-discrimination of the members of the Armed Forces (…) whereby it is considered that its impact, in terms of gender, will be positive..”.

DISCIPLINARY TYPES The Armed Forces Disciplinary Regime Draft Bill presented on 10th May last to the Spanish Lower House for its study, states in article 5 that disciplinary faults are those actions and omissions, wilful or imprudent, included in the law. The influence of the Gender Perspective is included in some of the disciplinary types qualified as minor, (article 6), serious (article 7) and very serious (article 8) offences. 12 Essential and obligatory tool for rendering effective the principle of equality in the contents of all legal norms in the framework of the General administration of the State, as provided for in Royal Decree1083/2009, of July 3rd, which regulates the Normative Impact Analysis Report.
