The box at the bottom entitled “Equality bodies may also play an important role in the enforcement of non-discrimination law“ and thus must read:

Equality bodies may also play an important role in the enforcement of non-discrimination law

Art. 13 of Directive 2000/43, Art. 12 of Directive 2004/113, Art. 20 of Directive 2006/54, Art. 11 of Directive 2010/41: Member States are obliged to designate a body or bodies for the promotion of equal treatment of all persons covered by the Directives. These bodies may form part of agencies charged at national level with the defence of human rights or the safeguarding of individuals’ rights. As of 19.6.2026, see also Directives 2024/1499 and 2024/1500.

Note: Directive 2000/78 does not contain a corresponding provision, but the Proposal for a new directive (2008) does.
