Description
The impact on fundamental rights of the measures taken by government and public authorities in the context of the outbreak of COVID-19 have raised concerns globally, nevertheless, it is important to ensure that these measures are necessary and proportionate to the evaluated risk and that their impact on certain groups, such as children and older people, are taken into account. The impact on selected key fundamental rights such as non-discrimination and equality, freedom of movement, privacy and data protection will be outlined.
On a monthly basis the FRA produced bulletins that outline the measures taken to protect public health and their impact on fundamental rights in EU Member States. A country report for Belgium is also published.
Bulletin 1 and Country Report (February – March 2020).
Bulletin 2 and Country Report (March – April 2020).
Bulletin 3 and Country Report (May 2020)
Bulletin 4 and Country Report (June 2020)
Bulletin 5 and Country Report (March-June 2020)
Bulletin 6 and Country Report (September-November 2020)
Bulletin 7 and Country Report (March 2021 - April 2021)
FRC's work on this service inspired the publication: Assessing the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights as a monitoring mechanism: Case study on COVID-19 emergency measures adopted in Belgium.
