A new European Union agency has raised concern among Jewish groups about the fight against anti-Semitism. At the start of 2007 Vienna will become the headquarters of the European Union’s Agency for Basic Rights, taking over from the Office against Racism and Xenophobia, or EUMC. The new agency will examine freedom of movement within E.U. member states along with general human-rights issues, potentially spending less time on combating anti-Semitism.
