Seminars to Raise Awareness among Legal practitioners on EU Equality law
The European Law Academy of Trier < http://www.era.int/ > has been
charged of organising a series of seminars to increase the awareness of
EU law on gender equality and anti-discrimination among legal
practitioners. These seminars cover both EU gender equality law and EU
Anti-discrimination law. They are aimed at training legal practitioners
(lawyers, judges, prosecutors, or from trade unions or employers'
associations, or NGOs) as well as university professors and law
lecturers who will be able to disseminate the knowledge gained within
their professional sectors.
Announcement website www.non-discrimination.net
The European Network of legal experts in the non-discrimination field ,
which does provide the European Commission with independent information
and advice on all the grounds of discrimination covered by Directive
2000/43/EC and Directive 2000/78/EC, has launched its website at the
following address : www.non-discrimination.net.
Visitors can find documents produced by the Network (such as the
European Anti-discrimination Law Review, Comparatives analysis and
numerous thematic reports) as well as other information relating to
anti-discrimination law.

pages, including the annual country reports and executive summaries.
Furthermore, legislative developments and non exhaustive case law at the
