Summary
The FRA Annual Report covers developments and events in the area of fundamental rights that took place between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010. However, where relevant, events that took place between October and December 2009 or in early 2011 have also been taken into consideration. Similar to last year, the report draws on data and information collected by the Agency's RAXEN National Focal Points (NFPs) and its FRALEX group of senior legal experts in each of the 27 EU Member States, as well as on the findings of primary research projects carried out by the Agency itself. The Agency's various research projects are referred to throughout the report at points where the findings are directly relevant to the thematic areas being discussed. These findings, rooted in research and expert analysis, enable comparisons to be made between the 27 EU Member States and also provide evidence upon which future policies can be based. The data and information provided is checked for accuracy by 27 liaison officers from the governments of each Member State, and the report has undergone internal quality review processes. Feedback on this report is always welcome and can be sent to: annualreport@ fra.europa.eu.
