Dear Ms. Maris Lauri, Milieu Consulting has been mandated by the European Commission (DG JUST) to undertake a study to support the preparation of a possible EU initiative to address potential gaps in the legal protection against discrimination on grounds of ‘racial’ or ethnic origin. The study has both a European and a national dimension and aims to gather data that allow for an understanding of (the extent of) racial and ethnic discrimination on the ground in areas beyond those regulated by Directive 2000/43/EC (Racial Equality Directive - RED). This Directive prohibits racial or ethnic discrimination by public or private actors in various areas, including employment and occupation, education, access to and supply of goods and services available to the public, social protection and social advantages. The study also gathers data about possible gaps or shortcomings to the protection mechanisms against racial or ethnic discrimination provided for in the RED. Attached please find an Accreditation letter from the Commission where you can find more information about the objectives of the Study. In order to collect relevant information and data for the identification of potential gaps in the protection against discrimination on grounds of racial or ethnic origin, Milieu Consulting is carrying out an online survey, targeting different EU and domestic actors specialised in the area of combatting racial or ethnic discrimination, or having experience/expertise in areas in which racial or ethnic discrimination occurs. You/your organization have been contacted as one of these targeted stakeholders. You are kindly invited to answer the questionnaire on the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/RED_targeted_survey If you are not the person responsible within your organisation to complete the questionnaire, kindly forward this email to the person(s) in charge. The survey will be open until 3 March 2022; therefore, we would be grateful if you could complete the questionnaire at your earliest convenience. Should you have any queries on the project or the survey, please email us at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this Study. Best wishes, On behalf of the Study team, Clara Viñuales.

Ares(2021)7650547 - 10/12/2021 EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL JUSTICE AND CONSUMERS Directorate D: Equality and Union citizenship The Director Brussels 29/11/2021 JUST.D.1/DS INVITATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE STUDY TO ASSESS POSSIBLE GAPS IN THE LEGAL PROTECTION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION ON GROUNDS OF RACIAL OR ETHNIC ORIGIN Subject: Invitation to contribute to the study conducted by Milieu Consulting SPRL in preparation of an EU initiative to address possible gaps in the legal protection against discrimination on grounds of racial or ethnic origin. Dear Sir or Madam, The European Commission – Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers (DG JUST) – has entrusted Milieu Consulting SPRL with carrying out a ‘Study to support the preparation of an EU initiative to address possible gaps in the legal protection against discrimination on grounds of racial or ethnic origin’. The purpose of the study is to provide the Commission with an overview of possible gaps in the protection against racial and ethnic discrimination offered by the EU rules and to provide support and give direction to a possible future initiative (the nature of the instrument to be decided) aiming to address those potential gaps. The study will map possible gaps in the material scope of the EU rules prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin, and elaborate on the socio-economic impact of those gaps. In addition, it will map possible gaps in the protection mechanisms included in Directive 2000/43/EC providing for equal treatment irrespective of racial or ethnic origin. The study also intends to show good practices in tackling any of the identified gaps. Finally, the study will issue conclusions accompanied by recommendations for a possible follow-up. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the possible gaps in the scope and coverage of protection (mechanisms) against racial or ethnic discrimination, as well as of possible good practices addressing any identified gaps, the research team will conduct interviews with key stakeholders at national and European level. Your organisation has been identified as one of the key stakeholders whose voice we would like to hear. Given the importance of the study we would kindly ask you to offer Milieu Consulting SPRL the necessary assistance in collecting the required information on behalf of the European Commission. We welcome your swift cooperation as the timing for the study is very tight.
