Belgium has invested in developing systems for equality data across a range of areas. These include recording systems of hate crime, and using innovative methods (such as situation testing), for a better understanding and capturing data about the many dimensions of discrimination. The country visit was also open to members of the Eurostat task force on equality statistics.
On 5 November, members of the subgroup and task force had a joint meeting. It enabled the exchange on practices and challenges in relation to the thematic areas covered by the working groups of the Eurostat task force.
