Six years ago today, July the 2nd, I was sitting in the European Parliament when the Commission announced that they would bring forward comprehensive anti discrimination legislation. It was something that a few of us had been working towards for a number of years and we were delighted that all our hard work had paid off. Now, all these years later everyone is still waiting!
