Extending EU crimes to hate speech and hate crime

This procedure proposes to extend the list of EU crimes to include hate speech and hate crime. The aim is to ensure a more consistent and robust response across the EU to these serious offenses, strengthening the protection of fundamental rights and public safety.

This initiative would affect individuals and groups targeted by hate speech and crime, as well as law enforcement and judicial authorities. It seeks to harmonize definitions and penalties, potentially leading to more effective prosecution and prevention.
