Equal Treatment Outside the Labour Market (Directive)
cepPolicyBrief
The German General Equal Treatment Law (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz - AGG) already contains most provisions of the Directive and, at the time of its adoption, went even beyond the requirements of then applicable EU law. However, several important adjustments will be required, in particular:
- extension of protection against discrimination due to belief
- integration of lessors with up to 50 flats
