The European year of equal opportunities for all, 2007: is the EU moving away from a formal idea of equality?
This article will argue that a shift appears to be taking place in the language used within the EU when discussing measures to combat discrimination and to promote equality and equal treatment. The EU appears to be moving from a more formal to a more substantial notion of equality and the need to tackle deep-rooted patterns of inequality experienced by some groups is recognised. But is this move in the language reflected in the measures taken against discrimination or is it just a change in rhetoric

Dealing with the Past: Memory and European Integration
Memory has become an object of dispute in the EU. Different groups and states do not have a
full convergence of views and this raises the question as to whether the EU should or should not
be involved. A pluralist conception of justice would argue that the recognition of memory is not
excluded as a form of justice. Adopting this view, this paper argues that the recognition of
memory can be addressed at the EU level if the different components of justice are allocated to
the proper spheres (recognition, retribution and recognition) and levels (national and European).This paper was written thanks to a grant from the Spanish
