Racism and xenophobia in the EU member states: Trends, developments and good practice. Annual report 2003/2004: Part 2

With effect from 2003 the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) was required to publish two annual reports. This is the second of two reports covering the year 2003-04. It covers developments in EU Member States in five main areas: legislative initiatives, racist violence and crimes, employment, housing and education, mainly in the year 2003. This is the first year that the area of housing has been added to the topics specifically researched by the EUMC. As in previous years, there is one main theme in the annual report, and this year the major focus is on education.
