  • Text:

    Il-paragrafu 1 huwa ispirat mill-Artikolu 13 tat-Trattat KE, issa ssostitwit bl-Artikolu 19 tat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea, mill-Artikolu 14 tal-KEDB u l-Artikolu 11 tal-Konvenzjoni dwar id-Drittijiet tal-Bniedem u l-Bijomediċina fir-rigward tal-wirt ġenetiku. Safejn jikkorrispondi ma' l-Artikolu 14 tal-KEDB, japplika b'mod konformi miegħu.
    Ma hemm ebda kontradizzjoni jew inkompatibbiltà bejn il-paragrafu 1 u l-Artikolu 19 tat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonamwent ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea li għandu kamp ta' applikazzjoni u għan differenti: l-Artikolu 19 jagħti s-setgħa lill-Unjoni li tadotta atti leġislattivi, inkluża l-armonizzazzjoni tal-liġijiet u r-regolamenti ta' l-Istati Membri, biex tiġġieled ċerti forom ta' diskriminazzjoni li huma elenkati b'mod eżawrjenti f'dak l-Artikolu. Tali leġislazzjoni tista' tkopri l-azzjoni ta' l-awtoritajiet ta' l-Istati Membri (kif ukoll ir-relazzjonijiet bejn individwi privati) fi kwalunkwe qasam fil-limitu tal-kompetenzi ta' l-Unjoni. Għall-kuntrarju, id-dispożizzjoni fl-Artikolu 21(1) ma toħloq ebda setgħa li jiġu adottati liġijiet ta' anti-diskriminazzjoni f'dawn l-oqsma ta' azzjoni mill-Istati Membri jew azzjoni privata, u lanqas ma tistabbilixxi projbizzjoni ġenerali ta' diskriminazzjoni f'oqsma tant vasti bħal dawn. Fil-fatt, għandha x'taqsam biss mad-diskriminazzjoni mill-istituzzjonijiet u l-korpi ta' l-Unjoni, meta jeżerċitaw il-kompetenzi mogħtija mit-Trattati, u mill-Istati Membri, biss meta jkunu qed jimplimentaw il-liġi ta' l-Unjoni. Għalhekk, il-paragrafu 1 la jestendi l-medda tal-kompetenzi mogħtija taħt l-Artikolu 19 u lanqas l-interpretazzjoni ta' dak l-Artikolu.
    Il-paragrafu 2 jikkorrispondi għall-Artikolu 18(1) tat-Trattat dwar il-funzjonament ta' l-Unjoni Ewropea u għandu jiġi applikat b'mod konformi ma' dak l-Artikolu.

    This report focuses on respondents who identified themselves as Muslims, and is the second in a series of EU-MIDIS ‘Data in Focus' reports exploring different results from the survey. Up to nine ‘Data in Focus' reports are planned. Given the shortage of extensive, objective and comparable data on Muslims in the European Union, EU-MIDIS provides, for the first time, comparable data on how Muslims across the EU experience discrimination and victimisation.

    Unequal treatment continues in employment, housing and education, according to data collected by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). Figures for racist crime in 2005 and 2006 are up in a number of EU countries. While there are more signs that the EU's anti-discrimination legislation is having a positive impact, victims of discrimination still lack knowledge of the new rules.
