EU funds: Ensuring compliance with fundamental rights
To ensure that EU funded projects and programmes respect fundamental rights, the EU introduced new strict requirements in 2021. EU funding rules state that authorities managing these funds must ensure compliance with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and implement the obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The report published by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights is based on desk research, national roundtables, and stakeholder interviews in 12 Member States: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Poland, Portugal and Slovakia. The report is available at the Agency's website.
