Implementation of the Employment Equality Directive

The need to promote equal treatment in specific areas, such as nationality and gender, was recognised right from the start of European construction, with the Treaty of Rome. This protection has only expanded and deepened over the years, especially since the Treaty of Amsterdam. The Court of Justice of the EU has been a significant defender of citizens’ rights, while several directives have been adopted to promote equal treatment in a range of policy areas.
