– The development and/or maintenance of a website promoting the issues of combating racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism;

– A thematic study on issues concerning racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism;

– Stimulation of exchange of views, problems and possible solutions, related to problems of racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism with a Community dimension, involving stakeholders at national, regional and local level;

– Capacity building, in particular to reinforce the involvement of small NGOs, new NGO networks and NGOs in the applicant and candidate countries at European level;

– Conference or seminar concerning racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.

In light of the enlargement of the European Union in 2004, the Commission welcomes activities which focus on issues affecting the Roma Community.
