After months of lobbying by MEP Maria Walsh, the European Commission has reversed its decision to remove a key EU equality law and will reinstate it as a 2025 policy priority.
MEP Walsh is the lead negotiator for the EPP, the European Parliament’s largest political group, on the Horizontal Anti-Discrimination Directive.
Following a decision by the European Commission to withdraw the Directive earlier this year, MEP Walsh led efforts to advocate for its reinstatement. President Ursula von der Leyen announced this week that the legislation has been added back to the Commission’s 2025 Work Programme Priorities.
MEP Walsh spoke to us this morning on The Agenda to tell us more.
