23A measure which is intended to give priority in promotion to women in sectors of the public service must be regarded as compatible with Community law if it does not automatically and unconditionally give priority to women when women and men are equally qualified, and the candidatures are the subject of an objective assessment which takes account of the specific personal situations of all candidates (see, to that effect, Case C-158/97 Badeck and Others [2000] ECR I-1875, paragraph 23).
