France: 40% (minimum) of board directors to be women - Bill before Parliament

The Times newspaper reports that the French Parliament has begun to consider a Bill that will require at least 40% of the directorships at France's largest companies to be held by women. This follows the example set by Norway and, more recently, Spain (about which see here (pdf)).

It is an excellent intervention. However, why not peg it at 50% so that equal representation is guranteed?
