Godina 2017. sa sobom je donijela i napredovanja i nazadovanja u pogledu zaštite temeljnih prava. U Izvješću agencije FRA o temeljnim pravima 2018. daje se pregled važnih novih događaja i postignuća u tom području te se ističu područja koja još izazivaju zabrinutost.
European societies are not getting any younger! It is a simple truth we must face both about ourselves and Europe as a whole. In two generations, by 2080, those aged 65 or above will account for almost 30% of the European Union’s population.
The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.
U ovoj publikaciji navode se mišljenja agencije FRA o glavnim događajima u obuhvaćenim tematskim područjima i njena mišljenja poduprta dokazima. U njoj se nalazi i sažet, ali informativan pregled glavnih izazova u području temeljnih prava s kojima se suočavaju EU i njegove države članice.
