Article 13 of the Treaty clearly states that discrimination must be combated and provides a basis for policies to combat discrimination. However, Article 13 cannot be used as a basis for obtaining direct results or creating individual rights. The facility to take recourse to the Court and full application of the policy against discrimination depend on application at national level of Directive 2000/78, i.e. the directive against discrimination adopted by the Council.
This directive introduced a general framework for any indirect discrimination, including on the grounds of religion or belief. Ιn particular, Article 4(2) deals specifically with churches and other public or private organisations based on religion or belief. This provision allows religious employers to substantiate difference of treatment on the grounds of religion or belief but always looks at any such ban within the context of the type of work and general circumstances. These exceptions generally refer to employees whose work is such that it affects the ethics or ethos of the organisation in question. Under no circumstances, however, can they constitute the rule."@en1
