2007 European Year of Equal Opportunities for All!
http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/eyeq/index.cfm
[excerpt]
The 2007 European Year of Equal Opportunities for All seeks to make people in the European Union more aware of their < http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/eyeq/index.cfm?page_id=42> rights to equal treatment and to a life free of discrimination. These are two of the basic principles underpinning the EU. The Year will also launch a major debate on the < http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/eyeq/index.cfm?page_id=43> benefits of diversity both for European societies and individuals.
The activities undertaken during the Year intend to remedy the discrimination from which some individuals suffer because of their gender, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, or sexual orientation. These are grounds for discrimination that may be addressed at European level.
Press Release 23 January 2007
European Year for Equal Opportunities for All gears up to fuel the debate on diversity

Brussels 23-01-2007. Today the 2007 European Year for Equal Opportunities for All (EYEO), which will kick off in Berlin on January 30th at the first ever Equality Summit, launched its < http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/eyeq/index.cfm?&> new website and published the results of an EU survey on anti-discrimination. The survey - carried out in preparation for the European Year - reveals that over half of Europeans (51%) think that not enough is being done to fight discrimination in their country and a large majority of respondents also feel that discrimination is widespread (64%). Overall, the results confirm that Europeans are ready for change, with a broad majority in favour of adopting measures to promote equal opportunities for all in the field of employment.
