  • Guide to Equality and the Policies, Institutions and Programmes of the European Union
    Guide to Equality and the Policies, Institutions and Programmes of the European Union Guide to Equality and the Policies, Institutions and Programmes of the European Union By Brian Harvey This document was commissioned by the Equality Authority and the views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the Equality Authority. Preface The European Union has played a valuable role in stimulating and shaping equality strategies in Ireland over the past three decades.The majority of key equality initiatives in Ireland can trace their origins to European Union directives, European case law or European Union action programmes. This influence continues to the present moment. However, innovation and ambition in our new equality legislation – the Employment Equality Act, 1998 and the Equal Status Act, 2000 – and our related equality institutions have changed this situation to one of mutual influencing. Europe now looks to the Irish experience of implementing a multi- ground equality agenda for learning. This publication provides an introductory briefing on approaches to equality at the level of the European Union – focusing on policy, institutions and funding programmes. It seeks to resource those who are engaging with the challenge to shape European Union policy and programmes in relation to equality. It aims to assist those addressing the impact of European Union policy and programmes on Ireland or to draw benefit from this influence. It is a unique document in bringing an integrated nine-ground equality focus to policy and programmes at European Union level.We are grateful to Brian Harvey for this work in drawing all this material together in this format.We are also grateful to Jenny Bulbulia B.L.
