The ongoing evolution of the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on Directives 2000/43/EC and 2000/78/EC

A legal analysis of the situation in EU Member States

Métadonnées de la publication

Article 13 TEC (now Article 19 TFEU) was inserted into the EC Treaty by the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999. It gave the institutions of the European Union (EU) competency to ‘take appropriate action to combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation’. This enabling power was used as a legal basis for the subsequent adoption of two directives concerned with discrimination other than sex. Directive 2000/43/EC (the Racial Equality Directive) prohibits discrimination on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin in the spheres of employment and occupation, social protection, social advantages, education and access to and supply of goods and services, while Directive 2000/78/EC (the Framework Equality Directive) prohibits discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, religion or belief and sexual orientation in the sphere of employment and occupation. The Court of Justice of the European Union (the CJEU) has delivered a series of important judgments that have clarified how many of the key provisions of the directives should be interpreted and applied. This report analyses the evolution and impact of this case law, from 1 September 2012 to 1 June 2019.

Since the adoption of the Racial Equality Directive (2000/43/EC) and the Employment Equality Directive (2000/78/EC) the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has handed down an ever-increasing number of judgments related to these Directives, clarifying many important aspects of their wording. An initial overview of the evolution of this case-law, addressing key-themes within its development, was written in 2012 by Colm O’Cinneide. This report provides an updated account of case-law developments since that date, and also to trace the ongoing impact of the CJEU’s case-law on national law. It takes stock of how the case-law of the Court has developed since 2012. It also examines the impact of this case-law on national law and critically analyses the evolution of the Court’ s jurisprudence. The methodology used is qualitative, involving close analysis of the judgments of the Court, opinions of Advocate-Generals, academic commentary and decisions of national courts in member states.
