Study on data collection to measure the extent and impact of discrimination in Europe: final report 7.12.2004

The European Council adopted on 27 November 2000 a decision establishing, for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2006, a Community action programme to combat discrimination, aimed at promoting measures to combat any direct, indirect, single or multiple discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. In order to fulfil the tasks outlined above, this study will proceed as follows: Part I deals with the general theoretical framework. Part II provides different examples of the types of institutions that are involved in different aspects of anti discrimination work in fields of discrimination covered by the EC Directives and Part III consists of the overall conclusions and recommendations which can be drawn in view of the objectives set for the study as well as on the basis of the related material presented.
