The European approach to equality and non-discrimination

Publié parPIERRE DEJEANPublié dansUncategorized

Purpose of the Site : To help you in your approach to European law on Equality and Non-Discrimination, with a site that is easy to consult thanks to a case-by-case approach, and also keywords, concepts and tags .

Here you will find all the Court’s recent judgments on discrimination (revisited by Pierre Déjean – a retired lawyer from Toulouse who has simplified and summarized them in fact sheets), as well as texts relating to the problems of discrimination and inequality. The site also contains numerous texts (treaties, directives, charters, articles, etc.) and an innovative presentation of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

OPERATION AND NAVIGATION

 The site offers a menu in the upper right corner and at the bottom of each page, as well as tools available to users: 
   1 – Short summaries (1 to 3 pages), linked to the full summaries (3 to 6 pages), published as soon as the judgment is released on the "Curia" website (the official website of the CJEU). These summaries contain a brief description of the Court's reasoning and the solution reached. 
   2 – The "Court's reasoning" developed in the full summaries is further broken down according to key concepts resulting from an analysis of the Court's case law in previous years. There are 80 key concepts. 
   3 – An entry point through the 6 Directives regulating non-discrimination and inequality in European justice:
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 97/81/EC
of 15 December 1997
concerning the framework agreement on part-time work concluded by UNICE, CEE P and ETUC		COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2000/78/EC
of 27 November 2000
establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation
DIRECTIVE 2006/54/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 5 July 2006 on the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities and equal treatment of men and women in matters of employment and occupation (recast)		DIRECTIVE 2008/104/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 19 November 2008 on temporary work
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 1999/70/EC
of 28 June 1999 concerning the ETUC, UNICE and CEEP Framework Agreement on fixed-term work		COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2000/43/EC
of 29 June 2000 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin
The fundamental work of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is largely unknown, despite being a cornerstone in the interpretation and structuring of European law. This lack of awareness is largely due to the fact that the judgments have a complex structure and their length can be daunting.
