#32026R1196EU 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 list of indicators for measuring how national equality bodies work across the EU. The indicators cover resources, independence, accessibility, effectiveness, and changes to each body’s mandate, powers, or structure. Member States and their equality bodies will use these indicators to collect and send comparable data to the European Commission. The practical effect is mainly administrative: it standardizes reporting so the Commission can assess whether equality bodies are functioning effectively under EU equality rules.
