| Annotation | This report sets out in brief form the law across EU Member States, Bulgaria and Romania relating to discrimination on grounds of sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion and belief and age to the extent that such discrimination falls outside the current scope of EC law. The particular focus is on discrimination in access to education, goods and services, and issues around social protection and social advantages. The report is drawn up on the basis of detailed reports in respect of each of the countries surveyed, and a further five "comparator" countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the US. Much of the report focuses on the law of the existing and prospective EU Member States, but occasional reference is made to the comparator countries. While all the Member States surveyed exceed the EU requirements in at least some respects, and in many the protection provided in excess of EU requirements is significant, the extent of this protection varies considerably.
