A comparative analysis of non-discrimination law in Europe – 2023
Summary
This report offers a crosscutting comparison and analysis of the transposition of anti-discrimination law in all 27 EU member states based on 27 individual country reports.
The report further presents the general trends in European anti-discrimination policy and points out some of the remaining dilemmas in the application of antidiscrimination legislation.
It also gives an overview of the main substantive issues in both the Racial Equality and Employment Equality Directives: the grounds of discrimination, the definition of grounds and scope, exceptions to the principle of equal treatment and positive action, access to justice and effective enforcement, and equality bodies.
