Strengthening the fundamental rights architecture in the EU. IV, The impact of the racial equality directive

Views of trade unions and employers in the European Union

Publication metadata

The Racial Equality Directive (2000/43/EC) is the key piece of EU legislation combating discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnic origin. It encourages employers and trade unions to engage in social dialogue to promote diversity and challenge racial and ethnic discrimination. Social dialogue initiatives at various levels established common ground between employers and trade unions on the importance of fully integrating minority-origin workers, as well as of taking steps to end all forms of racial or ethnic discrimination. Nevertheless, geographical differences in the awareness of the directive and corresponding national legislation remain among the social partners in the 27 EU Member States. Their views on the directive also differ, with trade union representatives generally showing a more positive assessment of the directive. These are the findings of the FRA research on the views of the social partner organisations in the EU concerning the application of the Racial Equality Directive in practice, with a sole focus on the area of employment. This report is one of four by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) that looks at closely related issues, institutions and EU legislation, which contribute to the overarching architecture of fundamental rights in the European Union. The building blocks of this fundamental rights landscape are the data protection authorities and national human rights institutions (NHRIs), as well as Equality Bodies set up under the Racial Equality Directive (2000/43/EC). This research was carried out on behalf of the FRA by the Working Lives Research Institute (WLRI) of London Metropolitan University. These four reports by European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) look at closely related issues, institutions, and EU legislation, which contribute to the overarching architecture of fundamental rights in the European Union. The building blocks of this fundamental rights landscape are the data protection authorities and national human rights institutions (NHRIs), as well as Equality Bodies set up under the Racial Equality Directive (2000/43/EC).
