Court takes action against Germany
The European Court of Justice has criticised Germany for failing to
transpose the EU�s Employment Framework Directive (2000/78/EC) on time.
In a recent judgment, the Court found that Germany had failed to create
the proper legal framework for equal treatment on the basis of religion,
disability and sexual orientation. The EU legislation � dating from 2000
� should have been introduced into national law in all EU Member States
by December 2003. Germany must now take the necessary steps to comply
with the Directive.

Conference: Non-discriminating Europe
The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in cooperation with
Maastricht University Faculty of Law, is organising a two-day conference
to assess the EU framework on non-discrimination, focusing on race,
ethnic origin, religion and belief. The conference � with the financial
support of the Community Action Programme � will also address the issues
of national implementation and litigation strategies. It will be
followed up with a training programme at Maastricht University in May
and advanced seminar at the European Institute of Public Administration
in September.
