On 16 September 2020, on the occasion of her State of the Union Address<\/a>, President Ursula von der Leyen announced a new EU Anti-Racism Action Plan<\/a> that sets out a series of concrete measures for the next 5 years.<\/p>\n

The Commission will ensure a tougher enforcement of relevant EU law and will not “shy away<\/em>” from further strengthening the legal framework, as mentioned by Commission’s Vice-President Vera Jourova at a press conference today where they launched the Action Plan. It came as a surprise to most anti-racist actors in the EU that the Action Plan mentions that this could happen in particular in the areas not yet covered by the non-discrimination legislation, such as law enforcement. Anti-Racism and Diversity Intergroup believes that the review of existing legislation such as Racial Equality Directive and Framework Decision on combating racism and xenophobia, with clear aims, i.e. proposing new legislation to close the gaps and launching new infringement procedures, finally shows a true commitment.<\/p>\n

Helena Dalli, Commissioner for Equality, said: \u201cWe must all strive for our societies to be anti-racist. With this action plan, we acknowledge that racism is not only perpetrated by individuals but is also structural. Therefore, we need to address it at all levels of governance to turn the tide<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anti-Racism and Diversity Intergroup welcomes the fact that for the first time, the EU addresses structural racism in the European Union true an EU-wide policy.<\/p>\n

There are a number of positive proposals in the action plan, many of them also reflect the proposals shared by the Anti-Racism and Diversity Intergroup Bureau Members during several meetings held with President von der Leyen and Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli earlier this year:<\/p>\n
