The only official national statistics on cases related to racial or ethnic discrimination are provided by the National Office Against Racial Discrimination (UNAR), based on cases of discrimination reported to its Contact Centre that runs a toll-free number. Moreover, the 1998 Immigration Act planned the creation of a national Commission for integration policies which is supposed to draft an annual report on migration and integration (art. 46 1998 Immigration Act).
