Equal Treatment Directive 2006 (2006/54/EC) is a legal act of European Union law, which implements the principle of equal treatment between men and women in EU labour law.

Background

Since the Treaty of Amsterdam came into force in 1999, new EU laws, or Directives, have been enacted in the area of anti-discrimination. The Equal Treatment Directive 2006/54/EC is a consolidation of previous Directives in this area, notably, the Directive 76/207/EEC, which was amended by Directive 2002/73/EC.
