Brussels, 23/11/2000 (Agence Europe) - The European Union's Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC, Vienna), has just published its 1999 annual report, entitled "Diversity and Equality for Europe". It emerges mainly that: (1) the victims of incidents of discrimination (immigrants, members of ethnic, religious and cultural minorities living in an EU Member State) are afraid of telling the authorities of racist aggressions of which they have been victims and having to leave the country in which they live; (2) in all Member States, ethnic, religious and cultural minorities, immigrants and refugees are the subjects of racist and discriminatory events. Speaking to the press in Brussels on Thursday, Jean Kahn, Chairman of the Centre's Board of Administration, stressed that 1999 was typical of the general evolution in Europe throughout the century that has just ended. EUROPE will return to this.
