These grounds cover sex (Gender Goods and Services Directive (2004\/113\/EC)430, Gender Equality Directive (recast) (2006\/54\/EC)),431 sexual orientation, disability, age or religion or belief (Employment Equality Directive (2000\/78\/EC)432), and racial or ethnic origin (Racial Equality Directive (2000\/43\/EC)433). Article 21 of the EU Charter also contains a prohibition on discrimination, which contains a non-exhaustive list of grounds, implied by a formulation \u2018such as\u2019.434 The EU Charter binds the EU institutions, but it will also apply to the Member States when they are interpreting and applying EU law.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A \u2018protected ground\u2019 is a characteristic of an individual that should not be considered relevant to the differential treatment or enjoyment of a particular benefit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Under the ECHR, Article 14 contains an open-ended list, which coincides with the directives, but goes beyond them. Article 14 states that there shall be no discrimination \u201con any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.\u201d The category of \u2018other status\u2019 has allowed the ECtHR to include those grounds (among others) that are expressly protected by the non-discrimination directives, namely: disability, age and sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/laweuro.com\/?p=7770\">Contents<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
