    This factsheet examines the importance of freedom of religion in the workplace as one of the foundations of a democratic society. Jointly published by FRA and the European Court of Human Rights, it examines relevant EU law on the topic, and explains how courts handle issues where EU law and human rights law overlap. It highlights key court decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to show how these two legal systems work together on aspects of religious freedom in the workplace, such as wearing religious symbols to work and time off for religious holidays.

    Online terrorist content is a threat to fundamental rights, rule of law and democracy. EU measures to tackle such content aim to prevent terrorism while upholding these values. FRA’s report looks at how online terrorist content is detected and removed under EU legislation. It highlights challenges in interpreting rules, risks of over-removal and potential impacts on freedom of expression. It finds that moderation practices by authorities and platforms can disproportionately affect certain groups, such as Muslims and Arabic speakers, while far-right content often receives less scrutiny. The findings, based on research and expert interviews with those addressing online terrorist content, offer ways to improve transparency in content moderation and to better balance public security and fundamental rights, contributing to wider debates on regulating online content responsibly.

    Artificial Intelligence comes with both benefits and risks. Safe AI use that accounts for fundamental rights is thus crucial. While the 2024 EU AI Act was a milestone in this regard, its broad definitions regarding AI systems and high-risk AI could introduce loopholes for fundamental rights compliance. This report offers an empirical basis for much-needed practical guidance on the Act’s implementation. Based on interviews with AI developers, sellers, and users, FRA addresses challenges of its use in critical domains, like asylum, education, and employment. Our findings help guide next steps in realising the AI Act’s potential to ensure responsible innovation.

    Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.

Re-structured, this year’s new approach is a shorter and sharper analysis. It also presents FRA’s opinions on these developments, including a summary of the evidence supporting these opinions.

    Терористичните актове представляват сериозна заплаха за живота и безопасността на хората, както и сериозно предизвикателство за сигурността за държавите. В същото време законодателството, политиките и другите мерки за борба с тероризма могат да доведат пряко или косвено до сериозни ограничения на основните права и да окажат неблагоприятно въздействие върху отделни лица, групи и обществото като цяло. В настоящото резюме са представени основните констатации на Агенцията
    на Европейския съюз за основните права (FRA) от нейния доклад относно Директива (ЕС) 2017/541 относно борбата с тероризма — основният наказателноправен инструмент на равнището на ЕС в областта на борбата с тероризма.

    Teroristické činy představují závažnou hrozbu pro životy a bezpečnost lidí a pro státy značnou bezpečnostní výzvu. Právní předpisy, politiky a další opatření týkající se boje proti terorismu mohou zároveň přímo či nepřímo vést k závažným omezením základních práv a mohou mít nepříznivý dopad na jednotlivce, skupiny a společnost jako celek. Toto shrnutí předkládá hlavní zjištění agentury FRA z její zprávy o směrnici (EU) 2017/541 o boji proti terorismu, která je hlavním trestněprávním nástrojem na úrovni EU v oblasti boje proti terorismu.

    Terrorhandlinger udgør en alvorlig trussel mod menneskers liv og sikkerhed og udgør en alvorlig sikkerhedsudfordring for staterne. Samtidig kan lovgivning, politikker og andre foranstaltninger til terrorbekæmpelse direkte eller indirekte medføre alvorlige indskrænkninger af de grundlæggende rettigheder og kan påvirke enkeltpersoner, grupper og samfundet som helhed negativt. I dette sammendrag præsenteres de vigtigste resultater fra FRA’s rapport om direktiv (EU) 2017/541 om bekæmpelse af terrorisme, som er det vigtigste strafferetlige instrument på EU-plan inden for terrorbekæmpelse.

    Οι τρομοκρατικές επιθέσεις συνιστούν σοβαρή απειλή για τη ζωή και την ασφάλεια των πολιτών, αλλά και τεράστια πρόκληση για την ασφάλεια των κρατών. Ταυτόχρονα, η αντιτρομοκρατική νομοθεσία, οι αντιτρομοκρατικές πολιτικές και τα λοιπά μέτρα μπορεί να συνεπάγονται, αμέσως ή εμμέσως, σοβαρούς περιορισμούς στα θεμελιώδη δικαιώματα και αρνητικές επιπτώσεις για τα άτομα, τις ομάδες και την κοινωνία στο σύνολό της. Η παρούσα σύνοψη παρουσιάζει τα κύρια ευρήματα της έκθεσης του FRA σχετικά με την οδηγία (ΕΕ) 2017/541 για την καταπολέμηση της τρομοκρατίας, την κύρια νομική πράξη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης (ΕΕ) στον τομέα του ποινικού δικαίου για την καταπολέμηση της τρομοκρατίας.

    Terroriaktid on suur oht inimeste elule ja turvalisusele ning suur julgeolekuprobleem riikidele. Samal ajal võivad terrorismivastased õigusaktid, poliitika ja muud meetmed otseselt või kaudselt piirata oluliselt põhiõigusi ning kahjustada üksikisikuid, rühmi ja kogu ühiskonda. Käesolevas kokkuvõttes on Euroopa Liidu Põhiõiguste Ameti (FRA) peamised järeldused aruandest, mis käsitleb direktiivi (EL) 2017/541 terrorismivastase võitluse kohta, mis on peamine ELi tasandi kriminaalõiguslik vahend terrorismivastase võitluse valdkonnas.

    Teroristička djela ozbiljna su prijetnja životima i sigurnosti ljudi, te velik sigurnosni izazov za države. Istodobno, zakonodavstvo, politike i druge mjere u području borbe protiv terorizma mogu izravno ili neizravno dovesti do ozbiljnih ograničenja temeljnih prava i imati negativan utjecaj na pojedince, skupine i društvo u cjelini. U ovom su sažetku predstavljeni glavni nalazi Agencije Europske unije za temeljna prava iz njezina izvješća o Direktivi (EU) 2017/541 o suzbijanju terorizma, koja predstavlja glavni kaznenopravni instrument na razini EU-a u području borbe protiv terorizma.

    A terrorcselekmények az emberek életére és biztonságára nézve súlyos fenyegetést, az államok számára pedig komoly biztonsági kihívást jelentenek. Ugyanakkor a terrorizmus elleni jogszabályok, politikák és egyéb intézkedések közvetlenül vagy közvetve az alapvető jogok súlyos korlátozásával járhatnak, és hátrányosan érinthetik az egyént, a csoportokat és a társadalom egészét. Ez az összefoglaló az FRA terrorizmus elleni küzdelemről szóló (EU) 2017/541 irányelvről, a terrorizmus elleni küzdelemmel kapcsolatos legfontosabb, uniós szintű büntetőjogi eszközről szóló jelentésében foglalt főbb megállapításokat mutatja be.
