Equality Minister Aurore Berge, reacting to the results, told Le Parisien that "the SOS Racisme report shows there is still a long way to go" and reiterated that "discrimination is illegal". Berge announced the introduction of mandatory discrimination training for all real estate agents. Training is currently only compulsory for professional license holders - less than half of all agents. She said a decree could be expected "in the coming weeks".
