This report presents available data on discrimination affecting Muslims in employment, education and housing. It stresses that the extent and nature of discrimination and Islamophobic incidents against European Muslims remain under-documented and under-reported. The EUMC report recommends therefore that Member States improve the reporting of incidents and implement measures to counter discrimination and racism more effectively. The report also includes initiatives and proposals for policy action by EU Member State governments and the European institutions to combat Islamophobia and to foster integration. It is accompanied by a study on 'Perceptions of discrimination and Islamophobia', which may be viewed by clicking on the appropriate Related Url.

Please note that the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) was superceded by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) in 2007.
