Migrants’ experiences of racism and xenophobia in 12 EU member states. Pilot study, May 2006

This pilot study is based on the data of 12 country studies of EU Member States. The studies were conducted between 2002 and 2005 in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and UK. Main reference and vantage point was a study conducted in Sweden in 1997 on discrimination subjectively experienced by different groups with migrant background. The Swedish study was used as a model in order to produce a series of surveys that should contribute to a deeper understanding of the situation of migrant groups in Member States of the European Union.

Please note that on 1 March 2007, the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) became the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).
