Summary/Abstract: With the implementation of Directives 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation, 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 concerning equal treatment of persons irrespective of racial origin or ethnic, and Directive 2004/113/EC of 13 December 2004 on equal treatment of men and women in the access to and supply of goods and services in the European Union, a new stage in the redefinition of two concepts began in EU legislation: equality and non-discrimination. The current draft “horizontal” directive aims to broaden the principle of non-discrimination and the principle of equality, which, according to the concept adopted in this article, are identical concepts. In the article, the author answers an important question, why EU legislation, constantly extends the principle of non-discrimination and the principle of equality, while there are no grounds for it.
