Discussion Paper: "The Benefits of positive actions"

The FRA has commissioned a series of policy focused papers to engage in thematic discussions on areas related to its Multi-annual Framework. The aim of these papers is to support, encourage and contribute to the debate on issues of relevance to the European Union Institutions, the Member States and the Agency's stakeholders.

The first paper aims to contribute to the ongoing policy debate on positive action and its benefits. The paper was produced in response to discussion and debates among the Agency's government liaison officers and within the European Parliament. In addition, the Agency wished to support, encourage and contribute to the European Commission's ongoing work in this area.
