In their book Singularities and Groups in Bifurcation Theory M. Golubitsky, I. Stewart and D. Schaeffer have introduced an equivariant version of Martinet's notion of V (for variety)-equivalence with parameter. In this paper we give a unified proof that, in this context, infinitesimal stability is equivalent to stability at the local level of germs and that stability in the unfolding category is equivalent to versality.
