It also notes with interest the adoption on 1 May 1999 of Act No. 1999:130 on Action against Ethnic Discrimination at Work.

The Committee also notes that the Act establishes that there shall be an Ombudsman against Ethnic Discrimination (DO) and the Anti-Discrimination Commission which are to be responsible for monitoring the application of the Act.
