Concluding remarks - Persisting gaps in data collection

Antisemitism remains aconcern that needs to be tackled through concerted

efforts by government and civil society at all levels. To tackle antisemitism

effectively, relevant stakeholders need to be able to rely on robust data on

antisemitic incidents to enable more eff‌icient targeting of interventions.

This report shows, as indicated in Table54, that there are large gaps in data

collection on antisemitism in the EU, that Member States collect different types

of data and that they apply different def‌initions and recording practices when

antisemitic incidents are recorded. This prevents the meaningful comparison of

off‌icially collected data between Member States and increases the relevance

of, and need for, surveys on perceptions and experiences of antisemitism

among self-identif‌ied Jews, such as the surveys conducted by FRA. Table54

excludes two EU Member States– Hungary and Portugal– as it has not been

possible to f‌ind asource of off‌icial data on antisemitic incidents.
