"It is the duty of all European institutions – national and Community institutions alike – to represent European citizens in their entirety, without distinction. Secularism is the only principle by which the institutions can allow citizens as a whole to access public services according to their beliefs. It is our common philosophical heritage and safeguards the principle of civil peace around which the EU was built.
That is why it is absolutely crucial that Italy complies with the Lautsi v. Italy judgment handed down by the European Court of Human Rights. As the Court points out, the display of religious symbols must be prohibited in all public buildings within the EU. It is high time that crucifixes, which were imposed in classrooms under Mussolini, were withdrawn from the state school environment."@en1
