The Workshop was organised by the Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs for the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.

The aim of the Workshop was to take stock of the progress achieved further to the adoption of the five Union of Equality strategies and other similar initiatives and action plans. It also analysed the state of play of the discussions on the 2008 Commission proposal for a horizontal directive on equal treatment, of proposals on hate crime and hate speech. The ways to further advance the promotion of equality, of the rights of minorities and of fundamental rights within the European Union, as per Article 2 TEU, were also discussed.
