Summary/Abstract: The article examines the European Commission’s recognition in a number of documents in recent years that hate crime and hate speech already pose a pan-European problem and in this sense the European Union must take a wider set of policy actions to tackle discrimination and political extremism. The aim of the Commission’s initiative is to identify hate speech and hate crime as ‘other areas of crime’ within the meaning of Article 83(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This is officially justified by the argument that these are particularly serious crimes, and that the development of cross-border crime also supports their inclusion in the list.
