"A month ago, the Commission submitted a proposal on equal treatment in employment, as prescribed in the Treaty, in order to implement Article 13. The ban on discrimination is the rule in the package of directives and programmes which we submitted. At the Commission’s proposal and after approximately two years of consultation with social agencies, Member States and the European Parliament, a number of exceptions have been made. These exceptions relate to professions which must be exercised by persons with a genuine professional qualification. Allow me to give you a specific example to illustrate this. In a religious school, it is logical for an exemption to be requested and accepted in order to ensure that the teacher is of the faith to which the religious school in question belongs. That is the sort of exemption we are talking about. Clearly this is not a general exemption and the different approach which allow Member States to introduce special provisions are only justified in the case of this special professional qualification."@en1
