Artikel 21 - Ikke-forskelsbehandling

  1. Enhver forskelsbehandling på grund af køn, race, farve, etnisk eller social oprindelse, genetiske anlæg, sprog, religion eller tro, politiske eller andre anskuelser, tilhørsforhold til et nationalt mindretal, formueforhold, fødsel, handicap, alder, seksuel orientering eller ethvert andet forhold er forbudt.
  2. Inden for traktaternes anvendelsesområde og med forbehold af deres særlige bestemmelser er enhver forskelsbehandling på grund af nationalitet forbudt.
  • Text:

    Stk. 1 bygger på artikel 13 i EF-traktaten, nu erstattet af artikel 19 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde, artikel 14 i EMK samt artikel 11 i konventionen om menneskerettigheder og biomedicin for så vidt angår arvemassen. I det omfang det falder sammen med artikel 14 i EMK, anvendes det i overensstemmelse hermed.
    Der er ikke nogen modstrid eller uforenelighed mellem stk. 1 og artikel 19 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde, der har et andet anvendelsesområde og formål: artikel 19 tildeler Unionen beføjelser til at vedtage retsakter, herunder harmonisering af medlemsstaternes love og bestemmelser, og til at bekæmpe visse former for forskelsbehandling, der er angivet udtømmende i denne artikel. Sådan lovgivning kan omfatte de nationale myndigheders indsats (samt forbindelserne mellem privatpersoner), der ligger inden for EU's beføjelser. Til gengæld indeholder artikel 21, stk. 1, ikke hjemmel til at vedtage love mod forskelsbehandling udøvet af medlemsstaterne eller privatpersoner på disse områder, og det indfører heller ikke et omfattende forbud mod forskelsbehandling på disse vidtrækkende områder. I stedet behandler det kun forskelsbehandling fra EU's institutioners og organers side, når de selv udøver beføjelser, de har fået tildelt i henhold til traktaterne, og af medlemsstaterne, når de gennemfører EU-retten. Stk. 1 ændrer således ikke omfanget af de beføjelser, der tildeles i henhold til artikel 19 eller fortolkningen af denne.
    Stk. 2 svarer til artikel 18, stk. 1, i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde og skal anvendes i overensstemmelse med denne artikel.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Disse forklaringer blev oprindelig udarbejdet under præsidiet for den forsamling, der udarbejdede chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder. De er blevet ajourført under Det Europæiske Konvents præsidiums ansvar i lyset af de udkast til tilpasninger, som konventet har foretaget i charterteksten (især i artikel 51 og 52) og videreudviklingen af EU-retten. Selv om forklaringerne ikke i sig selv har retskraft, udgør de et værdifuldt fortolkningsinstrument beregnet til nærmere præcisering af chartrets bestemmelser.

    Annual report 2007 - Report on Racism and Xenophobia in the Member States of the EU

    Unequal treatment continues in employment, housing and education, according to data collected by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). Figures for racist crime in 2005 and 2006 are up in a number of EU countries. While there are more signs that the EU's anti-discrimination legislation is having a positive impact, victims of discrimination still lack knowledge of the new rules.

    Annual Report 2005 - Part 2

    This annual report of the Agency is the EU's first comprehensive overview of racist, xenophobic, antisemitic and anti-Muslim discrimination, and responses to it, to cover all 25 EU Member States. The Roma emerge as the group most vulnerable to racism in the EU. They face discrimination in employment, housing and education - as well as being regular victims of racial violence. Other groups facing high levels of discrimination in many Member States are migrant workers from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Muslim groups face particularly challenging conditions in many Member States. Also recent migrants from Russia or the Ukraine may be subject to discrimination in some Member States.
