This event was supported by the European Community Action Programme to combat discrimination (2001-2006). This programme was established to support the effective implementation of new EU anti-discrimination legislation. The six-year Programme targets all stakeholders who can help shape the development of appropriate and effective anti-discrimination legislation and policies, across the EU-25, EFTA and EU candidate countries. The Action Programme has three main objectives. These are to improve the understanding of issues related to discrimination, to develop the capacity to tackle discrimination effectively and to promote the values underlying the fight against discrimination.
