Age Discrimination

This presentation analyses the concept of discrimination on grounds of age and gives clear guidelines on how to deal with a case of age discrimination. It explains in a very comprehensive way the definitions and basic principles by reference to the large case-law on this matter by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg. A special focus is on the possible exceptions to the general principle of equal treatment in relation to age which are foreseen in Articles 2(5), 4, 6(2) and 6(1) of Directive 2000/78/EC.
