List of actions by the Commission to advance LGBTI equality
Metadati delle pubblicazioni
The actions listed cover in a comprehensive way all policy areas that are relevant for LGBTI people: non-discrimination, education, employment, health, free movement, asylum, hate speech/hate crime, enlargement and foreign policy. The Commission’s objectives are to support progress in all EU and accession countries in all these policy areas, improve the social acceptance of LGBTI people and enforce EU legislation. A priority of the Commission is to ensure that EU legislation and policy fully comply with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, including Article 21 which contains a general prohibition of discrimination, including on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. In order to ensure that the rights are fully taken into account in the legislative process, the Commission carefully scrutinises every proposed policy measure under a “fundamental rights check”. The Commission will continue to champion fundamental rights in its legislative and policy proposals whenever they cover aspects relevant for the rights of LGBTI persons under EU law. A review of the Commission’s work to this effect is systematically and transparently presented in its Annual Reports on the application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which include information on the application of Article 21 of the Charter. For the implementation of the actions the Commission will continue cooperating with the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, EIGE and other relevant EU agencies, as well as civil society and relevant international organisations including the Council of Europe, the OECD and the UN. Regular joint meetings will be organised at the margins of the LGBTI Government Focal Points Network Group. The Commission will be also actively participating at the IDAHO annual forum to exchange information and be aligned with the growing movement of Member States supporting LGBTI rights. Contacts with civil society will also be regularly maintained
