Implementing and interpreting the reasonable accommodation provision of the framework employment directive: learning from experience and achieving best practice

This study has been produced under the European Community Action Programme to combat discrimination (2001-2006). This programme was established by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment and Social Affairs as a pragmatic support to ensuring effective implementation of the two Directives on "Race" and "Equal treatment in the workplace" (2000) emanating from Article 13 of the Amsterdam Treaty. The six-year Programme primarily targets all stakeholders capable of exerting influence towards the development of appropriate and effective anti-discrimination legislation and policies, across the EU-25, EFTA and the EU candidate countries.
