The French Presidency of the EU put equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination at the centre of the debate on the Social Agenda
The European Commission suggested to extend existing EU protection from discrimination to areas like access to goods and services, education and healthcare. Equality ministers and stakeholders – NGOs, social partners, companies and independent equality bodies from around Europe – will be able to give their views on the proposal, and also follow up on the commitments made by EU countries as part of the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All in 2007
