"Mr President, I must intervene, although I had no intention of doing so, because Greece is labouring under the misapprehension that, if they are to become Europeans, Greeks must stop stating their religion on their identity cards, as they have done for the past seventy years. The President-in-Office’s reply is correct. There are no plans to intervene, it is a matter for national law and that is what Greece has been practising up to now. The principle introduced for personal data resulted in a decision whereby the reference to a person’s religion was an infringement of personal data. However, I know for a fact that the Community directive on this issue states that, if the person in question agrees to a reference to their religion, then it is not prohibited to include such personal data. And that is precisely what our party and the Greek church want: a voluntary reference. Whoever wants to, can state their religion, and whoever does not want to, need not do so."@en1
