Rassismi ja Ksenofoobia Euroopa Järelevalvekeskus asendati 2007. aastal Euroopa Liidu Põhiõiguste Ametiga. Vt ka kirjet „European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights - Euroopa Liidu Põhiõiguste Amet“. [12.04.2013]
The prime objective of the (European Monitoring) Centre (on Racism and Xenophobia) shall be to provide the Community and its Member States, more especially within the fields referred to in Article 3 (3), with objective, reliable and comparable data at European level on the phenomena of racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism in order to help them when they take measures or formulate courses of action within their respective spheres of competence.
A European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights should accordingly be established, building upon the existing European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, to provide the relevant institutions and authorities of the Community and its Member States when implementing Community law with information, assistance and expertise on fundamental rights in order to support them when they take measures or formulate courses of action within their respective spheres of competence to fully respect fundamental rights.
