"Mr President, Commissioner, we are discussing an extremely important directive, which will provide an opportunity to resolve issues which are still controversial in the area of non-discrimination. I feel it is especially important that it reaffirms the right and freedom of religious beliefs and the application of the principle of non-discrimination in this area. At the same time, the directive explicitly refers to Declaration No 11 on the status of churches and non-confessional organisations, in which the European Union respects and does not prejudice the status under national law of churches and religious communities in Member States. The right is also recognised of Member States to draft and implement specific provisions in this area. It goes without saying that the European right must be harmonised with the right of Member States to regulate individual areas. This is a complex subject. Relations must be made clear so as to avoid infringing anyone’s rights, including the rights of those who belong to the churches sanctioned by legal regulations."@en1
