  4. Uneven landscape: key questions Could efforts in other areas of EU policy inspire a more coherent EU-wide framework for action with clear milestones for the fulfillment of LGBT rights? How could an EU approach mobilise legislative, financial and policy coordination tools in the context of a shared multi-annual framework?

  5. Future steps: CoE Committee of Ministers’ Recommendation (2010)5, ECtHR case law, EU law: set agreed standards Measuring progress more comprehensively Gathering evidence for the EU institutions Other necessary future steps in light of the different pace and lack of a uniform approach?
