". – Madam President, the Commission has provided us here with the very barest of outlines, when we could have had much greater detail of what was being said. I also echo the remarks made by other speakers concerning the separation of Church and State and wish that it applied to my own Member State.
A number of us have been raising questions because we are concerned, for example, when money is involved and given to particular religious organisations for their events, without it being at all clear what the criteria for that decision were and whether they will apply to other organisations, faith-based or not.
Questions also arise about how organisations signal to the Commission their interest in participating in such dialogues and just what the criteria set by the Commission are for the involvement of particular organisations. We have to avoid the ghettoising of certain faiths around certain issues, but ensure that we have a very inclusive dialogue across a range of questions.
Many of us would also be interested in knowing who decides the agenda for this consultation. There are many difficult political agendas around: for example, on how we achieve the Millennium Goals and gender equality. It would therefore be useful to know how the agendas are determined and who gets invited on what basis. I would echo what my colleague Mr De Rossa has said about the need for a public record in order to allay worries."@en1
