Racist violence and crimes
Given the different sources of information on racist violence and crime in
each Member State, it is difficult to offer generic statements about trends
across the EU. While some Member States have established a mechanism
for data collection on racist crimes, others have no such system.
Frequently, information for individual countries rests with NGO and
media reports, and where police data exists it is subject to changes in
legislation that can make comparisons between different data sets
problematic. As was pointed out in last year’s EUMC Annual Report,
such differences can lead to the misleading impression that those
countries with better data collection systems have a greater problem with
racist crime and violence than those who do not. Given these caveats,
there is and continues to be a problem with racist violence and crime in
all Member States. In turn, there is great variation in policy and practical

responses to racist violence and crime, with some Member States having
extensive and wide-ranging initiatives while in others projects are limited
to the actions of dedicated NGOs.
VARIATIONS IN TRENDS
Where official data is available, the following can be noted: preliminary
figures for Germany indicate a potentially dramatic fall in the number of
extremist crimes registered under the category ‘politically motivated
criminality - right-wing’ from 10,902 in 2002 to 6,965 in 2003. However,
the 2003 figures have to be treated with caution as they will be subject to
adjustments and may not reflect the final total. In France a recent decline
in officially recorded racist crimes has also been noted, with the Ministry
of the Interior recording 817 cases in 2003, compared to 1,313 cases of
racist/antisemitic acts in 2002 (although these figures are still high when
compared with the 1990s). In the Netherlands the latest statistics
available, covering 2002, show amongst other things a striking rise in
antisemitic violence compared to 2001. While the Swedish authorities
recorded a drop in racist/xenophobic crimes between 2001 and 2002,
these figures are subject to subtly different counting procedures, and
preliminary unpublished statistics for 2003 show an increase on 2002’s
figures. For the UK, the number of racist incidents both reported to and
recorded by the police has increased since 1996/7, but there is some
indication that reporting has levelled off in the period 2000 - 2002. In
contrast with official figures, surveys by NGOs or victim surveys tend to
indicate higher levels of racist violence and crime.
RECORDING OFFENCES
As mentioned in the last Annual Report, Belgium continues to work
towards establishing an official centralised mechanism for recording
racist/antisemitic offences. Likewise, in 2000, the Portuguese
government established a Commission for Equality and Against Racial
Discrimination which has given increased visibility to racist crimes but
which, as yet, has not produced consistent data on the extent and nature
of racist crime in Portugal. Also, while the Spanish authorities record
incidents with a racist or xenophobic motive, official statistics greatly
underestimate racist incidents and, because of this, non-official sources
must be referred to in order to get a more accurate indication of the
extent of racist crime. In Italy, records on racist crime continue to be
based on court cases and, therefore, are not representative of the extent of
the problem. In Greece, police authorities do not record whether crimes
have had a racist motivation, and there has never been a prosecution, to

date, based on anti-racist criminal law 927/1979. However, there
continue to be encouraging developments, building on those mentioned
last year. In 2003 the Danish Police Intelligence Service published, for
the first time, figures on reported crimes with a possible racist motive. In
Finland, a new provision of the Penal Code came into force on 1 January
2004 which, in line with many other Member States’ criminal laws,
introduced racist motivation as an aggravating factor in criminal
offences.
COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE POLICE
Evidence exists in some Member States that the authorities themselves,
notably the police, can be the source of some disturbing incidents. For
example, in Austria, at the end of 2003, investigations were proceeding
into an incident (recorded on an amateur video) when police officers and
medics stood on a Mauritanian man for some minutes as he lay
motionless on the ground. The man later died. In Spain and Greece, the
police and coastguards have been repeatedly criticised by national and
international NGOs for their treatment of Roma and alien immigrants,
and in Greece a policeman was convicted in 2003 for the killing of a
Roma man. Similarly, the Portuguese Commission for Equality and
Against Racial Discrimination has, since 2000, noted a number of
incidents of racist violence by police, while in Finland, in December
2003, the Ombudsman for Minorities received numerous complaints
about police treatment of asylum seekers in Tampere.
EXTREMIST GROUPS AND INTERNET RACISM
The criminal justice authorities have been active against ‘White Power’
nationalist groups, with Sweden having a series of arrests and convictions
against extreme right-wing leaders throughout 2003. In the period 2001-
2003, initiatives have been launched in Member States – notably in
Austria, Finland, Germany and Sweden – offering ‘Exit’ programmes to
members of right-wing nationalist organisations, and have met with some
success. In turn, NGOs, sometimes in partnership with the authorities,
continue to be active with a range of anti-racist initiatives in most of the
Member States. Some initiatives have focused on the ‘new’ problem of
racist Internet sites, such as a 2003 report by the French NGO MRAP
(Movement Against Racism and for Friendship Between Peoples), and
have highlighted the reality of borderless transnational racism.
