#32026R1197EU Common Indicators for Equality Bodies
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation sets a common EU list of indicators for measuring how national equality bodies work. These bodies handle equal treatment and equal opportunities between women and men in employment and self-employment, so the indicators cover their resources, independence, accessibility, effectiveness, powers and structure. EU Member States and equality bodies will need to collect comparable data and send it to the European Commission. The practical goal is to make reporting more consistent across the EU and help the Commission assess whether equality bodies have the capacity and independence they need.
