At the conference, a representative of the European Commission will present the European legislation and policy in combating discrimination, while experts from other European countries will refer to selected aspects of the European legislation and its practical application in member states.
The conference is addressing to officers of public services involved in the designing, enactment and application of the legislation against discrimination, to members of the House of Parliament, to justice officers and legal advisers, to trade unionists and officers of employers organisations and to representatives of NGOs engaged with the issue of racism and discrimination.
