Qualitative Info |
ECRI in its September 2009 report expressed its concern regarding a positive measure introduced by law 3647/08 in 2008 provided a quota for members of the Muslim minority in the civil service. ECRI notes that ‘it does not appear that measures have been taken to implement this quota. A comprehensive long-term programme has not yet been established by the authorities to improve the integration of Muslims from Western Thrace into the labour market. Reports indicate that they continue to be under-represented in the public sector and state owned corporations.’ |
