The European Commission announced on 20 December 2004 that it will refer five Member States to the European Court of Justice for failing to transpose the Employment Equality Directive (2000/78). The Directive, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of age, disability, religion and sexual orientation in employment and vocational training, should have been incorporated into national law by December 2003. |
