EXPERIENCES OF EU MEMBER-STATES IN PREVENTION OF EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION

Abstract

After two antidiscrimination directives have been adopted by European Union, thus establishing common legal framework on wide range of prohibition of discrimination, employment discrimination included, legal systems of member-states were significantly changed in order to implement new regulation. Paper deals with most important legal solutions at the national level, and points out several difficulties in their implementation. These are especially significant in order to comprehend how harmonisation of 27 legal systems in the area of antidiscrimination works in practice, bearing in mind that they have been on different levels of development prior to adoption of EU directives.
