Persons affected by discrimination often lack sufficient evidence to proof that they e.g. have not been hired for one of the reasons listed in § 1 AGG. Furthermore, they have no right to get to know the motives behind a non-employment or the employment of another person. This leads to a lack of evidence which can only be overcome with a claim to information.

§ 28 (2) AGG already grants the ADA a limited right to information. Accordingly, federal authorities and public bodies of the Federation are obliged to support the ADA in their tasks, in particular to provide the necessary information (in compliance with the data protection regulations for the protection of personal data). However, this limited right to information is not suitable for use in court.

For this reason, the obligation of all public bodies in the federal area to support the ADA and to provide information (§ 28 (2) AGG) should be extended to an explicit right to information concerning all relevant areas of the AGG.
