European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC)
European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) : The EUMC, based in Vienna, is an independent body of the European Union (EU) established by Council Regulation 1035/97. Its origins go back to June 1994 when the Corfu European Council proposed the establishment of a consultative Commission on Racism and Xenophobia, also known as the Kahn Commission after its Chairman, Jean Kahn. In June 1995, the Cannes European Council called on the Kahn Commission, in cooperation with the Council of Europe, to consider the feasibility of a European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia. The Centre started its activities in July 1998. It currently has 25 members of staff. See: Discrimination; Race
