A New York-based human rights group has called on the member states of the European Union to implement a new directive on discrimination.

"No citizen within the EU should have less protection or less equality than others," said Boris Dittrich, advocacy director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Programme at Human Rights Watch.
