In a new report, the Vienna-based agency said most EU countries had "no official data sources on racist incidents and discrimination involving the police".

It said just a few countries recorded incidents of police racism separately.

Of these, only Germany, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands publish the data.

The report builds on previous research by FRA showing that the police most often stop young men, ethnic minorities, Muslims or people who do not identify as heterosexual.
