| Qualitative Info |
The only regular assesment of the implementation of the law transposing the two anti-discrimination Directives is carried out by the Legal Network of Experts in the non-discrimination field (www.non-discrimination.net), which compiles annually a country report on the implementation of the Directives. The report does not arrive at any recommendations, but it does record a number of aspects of implementation which are problematic, such as the reluctance of the Court to recognise and justify positive measures, the process of repealling laws containing discriminatory provisions, the non allocation of adequate resources to the equality body to enable it to carry out its function, etc. |
