Report 89. Non-discrimination in the European Union.
Implementation of Directives 2000/78/EC and 2000/43/EC. Part III. Awareness-raising, enforcement and litigation
Description
The adoption of a European Directive is a first step, but which has to be followed by its transposition into the national legislations. To present and analyse this important stage, the ETUI has just published three new reports on the subject. Report 87 looks more closely among others into the implementation process, enforcement, involvement of social partners and the scope and definitions, such as direct, indirect discrimination and harassment. Report 88 groups information on age and disability under the aspect of positive action and different treatment. While Report 89 looks e.g. at the dissemination of information; at the enforcement such as judicial and administrative procedure, the burden of proof, etc. and at national court cases.
The reports do not only aim at informing the reader on the state of play of national transposition but also serve as an incentive for discussions on the subject at both national and European level by providing the requisite comparative material.

Non-discrimination is one of the fundamental values on which the European Union is based. Two Directives on this subject were adopted in 2000 to establish common principles for combating discrimination in the European Union. Directive 2000/78/EC is intended to put in place a general framework to ensure equal treatment of individuals in the EU, regardless of their religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation, as regards access to employment or occupation and membership of certain organisations. Directive 2000/43/EC is intended to implement the principle of equal treatment on grounds of racial and ethnic origin in the EU, including in employment.
