Brussels considers EU equality law change to tackle racism

Exclusive: Draft EU action plan proposes to investigate whether race equality directive has gaps

Brussels will consider upgrading the EU's race equality law as it sets out a sweeping plan to tackle discrimination against people from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background.

A draft EU action plan against racism, seen by the Guardian, proposes to investigate whether the 2000 race equality directive has gaps, particularly on policing and law enforcement.
