Abstract

The article seeks to reflect on recent developments (at the time of writing in 2006) with regard to the non-discrimination Directives and their possible relevance for the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Particular attention is paid to the first case decided by the European Court of Justice on the basis of the Directives, Mangold. This case concerned the tricky question of the limits of the extended scope for justifying discrimination on the grounds of age, and the standards against which such exceptions to the non-discrimination principle should be measured. In addition, the attention currently being paid to the broader policy question of the need for, and desirability of, further EC non-discrimination directives will be noted.

Keywords: Transposition and enforcement of equality directives, Non-discrimination law, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Mangold
