". Mr President, I was not, at the time, in favour of including Article 13 in the EC Treaty; not because I condone discrimination – quite the contrary – but because it is not desirable that this be regulated at European level. It is up to the Member States to enact the right sort of regulations. It does not surprise me that Mr Moraes, in his report, concludes that the Member States are dragging their heels when it comes to implementing this policy. Tackling this at EU level does not seem to add any value. Religious convictions are not a personal matter; they must be professed in a community and expressed in one’s attitude to life. The way in which it is suggested in paragraph 22 that in the field of education, discrimination would be on grounds of religion, ignores the meaning of religious conviction for the identity of education. Finally, I am grateful to Mrs in 't Veld for Amendment 4. Discrimination against Christians should be fought with the same tenacity as other forms of discrimination."@en1
