Italy has recently transposed the shift of the burden of proof required in Article 8 of Directive 2000/43/EC, with Italy/legge 101/2008 (06/06/2008), after the European Commission initiated an infringement procedure. It is too early to assess the effect of this emendation. In general, the victims of discrimination can use statistical data and other factual elements to support the case.
