NO. The data on complaints recorded by the national equality body are not enough to monitor and review practices to combat racial discrimination and promote racial equality effectively. |
| Qualitative Info |
The National Council for Combating Discrimination (NCCD) publishes every year in its annual report of activity data on certain indicators related to the complaints it registers and handles throughout the year. However, this data reflects only the "tip of the iceberg" of discrimination phenomenon since it is based only on complaints filed to the NCCD. In addition, every year the NCCD subcontracts a sociological survery on discriminatory perceptions and attitudes in the Romanian society. |
