The Business Case for Diversity
Good Practices in the Workplace
October 2005
An increasing number of European companies are adopting diversity and equality strategies, not only for ethical and legal reasons but also for the business benefits they are expected to deliver. Among the most important of these benefits are enhanced employee recruitment and retention from a wider pool of high quality workers, improved corporate image and reputation, greater innovation and enhanced marketing opportunities.

Developing Anti-Discrimination Law in Europe
The 25 Member States Compared
September 2005
The European Commission’s Network of Legal Experts in non-discrimination has issued a new comparative analysis of anti-discrimination laws in the 25 EU Member States – drawing on the comprehensive country reports it has already produced. The report compares and contrasts the different national laws, identifying trends and common aspects in implementation of the two Directives. By considering each of the different grounds of discrimination in turn and collectively, it provides a comprehensive overview of national legislation to combat discrimination across the EU.
Remedies and Sanctions in EC non-discrimination law
Effective, proportionate and dissuasive national sanctions and remedies, with particular reference to upper limits on compensation to victims of discrimination
June 2005
This report examines what the concept of "effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions" requires EU Member States to do in the implementation of the Race and Employment Framework Directives. As a background, the report discusses the development and the meaning of the concept of effective, proportionate and dissuasive remedies in EC sex equality law (where it has its historic origin) and in general EC law. It then turns to the requirements regarding remedies under international human rights law. Thereafter, the report discusses the meaning of the concept of effective, proportionate and dissuasive remedies in the specific framwork of the Race and Empoyment Framework Directives. A final part deals with upper limits on compensation.
Mainstreaming diversity: opening the debate with the whole of society
June 2005
On 27th and 28th June 2005, the Ministry of Family and Integration - Government Commission for Foreigners - with the contribution of the European Community Action Programme to combat discrimination held a conference on mainstreaming diversity, a topical theme be it at the Luxembourgish or European level. This conference aimed to answer how and to which extent such an approach can be carried out in order to develop and contribute to the debate and the fight against discrimination. The debates particularly focused on integration and non-discrimination, the role of the media, young people and regional / local authorities in awareness raising and the fight against discrimination. Two round tables covered the topics of Mainstreaming Diversity and Multiple Discrimination.
European Anti-Discrimination Law Review I

Articles on the discrimination directives, the independence of Equality Bodies and the European Network of Legal Experts/ ECJ and ECHR case law updates/ national legal developments/ European policy update
Equality and non-discrimination. Annual report 2005
April 2005
This report summarises developments in Member States and at EU level over the past year in the fight against discrimination. It is divided into two parts. The first part outlines the requirements contained in the Racial Equality and Employment Equality Directives and the action being taken by the Commission to ensure that Member States are complying with them. It then reviews the new laws and other measures introduced by Member States to meet these requirements, and presents a few examples of the laws being applied in practice. The second part of the report examines the situation of Roma in the EU, who collectively form the largest ethnic minority in the enlarged EU. It looks at some of the actions being taken by the EU to address the widespread exclusion and discrimination Roma communities face throughout Europe.
Age discrimination and European Law
April 2005
Differences of treatment between different individuals or groups on the grounds of age are often based on generalised assumptions or casual stereotypes.When individuals are subject to discrimination as a result of these demeaning stereotypes, their fundamental right to respect for their human dignity is violated, as they are denied equality of treatment and respect. Such discrimination also prevents disadvantaged age groups from participating fully in the labour market.
Part I – Age and the framework equality directive
Part II – Direct and indirect discrimination
Part III: Limitations and derogations
Equal Rights In Praxis - Key Voices 2005
March 2005
The theme of 'access to justice' is crucial in the field of non-discrimination. We all hope to be treated on the basis of our merits, but if we are not, what can we do about it? Laws prohibiting discrimination are no good if people are unable, in practice, to enforce their rights.
The Prohibition of Discrimination under European Human Rights Law
February 2005
Relevance for EU Racial and Employment Equality Directives The report offers an overview of the protection from discrimination under the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights and the 1961 European Social Charter as well as the 1996 Revised European Social Charter, which are the main human rights treaties of the Council of Europe. The report seeks to identify aspects of that protection which could influence the outstanding questions of interpretation of Directive 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin and Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation.
Racism and Xenophobia in the EU Member States trends, developments and good practice - Annual Report 2005 - Part 2
2005
This Annual Report 2005 of the EUMC is the first Annual Report to appear since the enlargement of the EU in 2004. It therefore constitutes the first comprehensive overview of racist, xenophobic, antisemitic and anti-Muslim discrimination, and responses to it, to cover all 25 EU Member States. The report covers events during 2004, which was also the first full year that Council Directive 2000/43/EC (the Racial Equality Directive) had been in force. One of the tasks of this year’s report has therefore been to describe the practical consequences of this, in terms of the legal and institutional mechanisms introduced by Member States in response to it.
