In Greek Law, there is explicit anti-discrimination legislation. Law no. 3304/2005 on the Application of the principle of equal treatment regardless of racial or ethnic origin, religious or other beliefs, disability, age or sexual orientation implements the Directives 2000/43/EC and 2000/78/EC, therefore covering all five grounds of the aforementioned Directives.

With regard to the material scope of Greek legislation covering the respective grounds, the recentGreek non-discrimination Law no. 3304/2005 adopts, quasi literally, Article 3 of the framework Directive. The principle of equal treatment shall apply to all persons both the public and private sectors, in relation to (a) conditions for access to employment and occupation in general, (b) access to all types and to all levels of vocational guidance, vocational training, and retraining, vocational guidance including practical work experience, (c) employment and working conditions and (d) ) membership of, and involvement in, an organisation of workers or employers, or any organisation whose members carry on a particular profession.

Article 18 of the non-discrimination Law no. 3304/2005 entrusts the Economic and Social Committee with tasks such as: drafting an annual report on the developments with regard to the application of the principle of equal treatment; making suggestions to the government and to social partners on promoting equal treatment and non-discrimination; and encouraging dialogue with NGOs and representative unions, which have a legitimate interest in combating discrimination on the grounds of ethnic or racial origin, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation and disability.
