Qualitative Info

Some anti-racist organizations advocate changes regarding the implementation of EU directives into national legislation. Moreover some NGOs and trade unions interested in immigration advocate an asylum law above all: in Italy there isn’t a regulation as regards asylum seekers. NGOs and trade unions may become involved in proposals for legislative change in a range of areas such as anti-discrimination, asylum and immigration. They work on national as well as local level. Normally the institutions try to have a good relationship with NGOs and trade unions, although they keep strong autonomously when they have different positions. There has been also cooperation and joint projects between NGOs and regional governments and municipalities and trade unions and regional governments.
