European Commission refers Poland to Court of Justice over race equality rules

The European Commission has referred Poland to the EU Court of Justice for incorrectly implementing EU rules prohibiting discrimination based on race or ethnic origin. In referring Poland to the Court, the Commission pointed out that Poland has not transposed the Directive outside the field of employment. There are no specific provisions in Polish legislation that would prohibit discrimination on grounds of race or ethnic origin with regard namely to social protection and social advantages, including social security and health care, as is requested.
