The Starting Line and the Incorporation of the Racial Equality Directive into the National Laws of the E U Member States and the Accession States.
In 2000, the European Union adopted two Directives concerning equal treatment and anti-discrimination, namely the Council Directive implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of ethnic and racial origin and the Council Directive establishing a general framework for employment equality. The two Directives, together with the Council Decision establishing a Community Action Programme to combat discrimination, were responses to persistent discrimination and outbreaks of racist violence across the European Union. Discussion around the incorporation of the Racial Equality Directive into the laws of the Member States was the beginning of the design or reinforcement of national legislation against racial and ethnic discrimination.
This publication was designed to serve as a tool to monitor and influence the incorporation of the Racial Equality Directive into national law and to
further develop European anti-discrimination policies.
Edited by Isabelle Chopin and Jan Niessen, Commission for Racial Equality/ Migration Policy Group. Preface by Odile Quintin, Director General, Directorate General for Employment and Social Affairs, European Committees 4. Introduction by Patrick Yu and Isabelle Chopin.
