Summary
This annual report of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) covers the main events and developments in the area of fundamental rights in the EU during 2010. It is different from previous annual reports both in content and form. As its new title Fundamental rights: challenges and achievements signals, this annual report provides a review of the main fundamental rights developments and events in the EU in 2010. Each successive annual report will increasingly allow for the identification of trends in an area built on the common values that form the basis of the process of European integration and the Member States' constitutional traditions. The annual report encompasses the full range of fundamental rights issues covered by the scope of the FRA mandate. It looks at developments at both European as well as national level, also taking into account international standards. Various institutions and mechanisms, such as those established by the Council of Europe, continue to provide valuable information for this report.
