330			_aILGA-Europe's report examines the implementation of the 2000 EU employment equality directive and identifies further needed action to acheive greater equality for LGB people in mployment. Dall'introduzione: "EU legislation provides for the protection of lesbians, gays and bisexuals (LGB) against discrimination in the workplace. Introduced in November 2000, the legislation came in the form of Council Directive 2000/78/EC and is generally know as the Framework Directive. As with all Council Directives, member states are required to transpose the provisions of the Directive2 into their individual domestic laws. The introduction of this Directive represents an important step forward in the struggle for equal rights for the LGB people in the EU member states. In the first instance, national laws will have to change. Furthermore, in the process of changing laws, legislators, employers, trade unions and other relevant stakeholders will have to engage, some for the first time, with the workplace issues relevant to LGB people. The debate thus initiated will contribute to the broader project of changing societal attitudes to LGB people. We are, however, a long way from realising the benefits that the Framework Directive purports to provide for. A major concern is the fact that the response by individual member states has varied onsiderably, resulting in an uneven spread of compliance. Secondly, it has become apparent that there are weaknesses and shortcomings in the Directive itself which means that aspects of discrimination against LGB people are not covered, or, in some cases, are rendered more discriminatory. Thirdly, in order to be activated, never mind effective, the legislation requires the person experiencing discrimination to come forward and initiate proceedings in order to prove the discriminatory practice and seek redress. This can be particularly problematic for LGB people. Finally, even if national laws in all member states complied fully with the provisions of the Directive, it is a reality to be reckoned with that legislation is not enough".
