Qualitative Info

Given the lack of comprevensive statistical data on court decisions related to discrimination (e-g. at labour courts), a comprehensive answer can not be given. The decisions of the Equal Treatment Authority (ETA) are not considered deterrent enough (in many cases, the sanction is only "publishing the name of the violator" or "clamining that the violator should stop te violation"). Besides this,  the number of complaints filed with the ETA are very low.
