There is no European-wide data on how many persons experience unequal treatment because of their racial or ethnic origin, despite the fact that over one in two Europeans believe that discrimination because of one’s racial or ethnic origin is widespread.
Enar’s publication: “Measure, Plan, Act: How data collection can support racial equality” provides evidence that equality data collection is legally possible and not costly, because it only entails adding extra categories to existing censuses or other data collection processes. For example, the United Kingdom collects equality data to monitor progress in achieving equality since 1991.
