Annotation	In the report, 'Age of equality? Outlawing age discrimination beyond the workplace', Age Concern England (ACE) has gathered evidence of continuing age discrimination against older people in all sectors of goods, facilities and services. ACE refers to that report by way of response to a general on-line consultation by the European Commission and its Policy Strategy for 2008, which signals commitment to further prevention and combating of discrimination outside the labour market. This policy response comments on the need and nature of any initiative; the nature and effectiveness of non-legislative measures; advantages and disadvantages of a single initiative; that there should be no exceptions to the principle of equal treatment; and the role of equality bodies.
