The European Court of Justice was asked whether EU law itself prohibits discrimination on grounds of obesity and whether obesity can be considered a disability. The ECJ stated ‘no general principle of EU law prohibits, in itself, the discrimination on grounds of obesity’. But it said the ‘condition falls within the concept of “disability” where... it hinders the full and effective participation of the person concerned in professional life on an equal basis with other workers’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.thelocal.dk\u002F20141219\u002Fdanish-union-calls-eu-obesity-ruling-a-great-victory\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.thelocal.dk\u002F20141219\u002Fdanish-union-calls-eu-obesity-ruling-a-great-victory\u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
