Press Release: Commission goes to the European Court of Justice to enforce EU anti-discrimination law

The European Commission announced on 19 July 2004 that it is taking legal action against six Member States that have failed to transpose two anti-discrimination Directives. The Directives, which prohibit discrimination on racial or ethnic origin, age, disability, religion and sexual orientation, were due to be incorporated into national law in 2003. The Commission will refer Austria, Germany, Finland, Greece, and Luxembourg to the European Court of Justice.
