Forklaringer

  • Text:

    Den ret, der sikres ved stk. 1, svarer til den, der er sikret ved artikel 9 i EMK, og har i henhold til artikel 52, stk. 3, samme betydning og omfang som denne. Begrænsningerne skal derfor være i overensstemmelse med konventionens artikel 9, stk. 2, hvori det hedder: »Frihed til at udøve sin religion eller tro skal kun kunne underkastes sådanne begrænsninger, som er foreskrevet ved lov og er nødvendige i et demokratisk samfund af hensyn til den offentlige tryghed, for at beskytte den offentlige orden, sundheden eller sædeligheden eller for at beskytte andres rettigheder og friheder.«
    Den ret, der sikres ved stk. 2, afspejler medlemsstaternes forfatningsmæssige traditioner og udviklingen i de nationale lovgivninger på dette punkt.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Disse forklaringer blev oprindelig udarbejdet under præsidiet for den forsamling, der udarbejdede chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder. De er blevet ajourført under Det Europæiske Konvents præsidiums ansvar i lyset af de udkast til tilpasninger, som konventet har foretaget i charterteksten (især i artikel 51 og 52) og videreudviklingen af EU-retten. Selv om forklaringerne ikke i sig selv har retskraft, udgør de et værdifuldt fortolkningsinstrument beregnet til nærmere præcisering af chartrets bestemmelser.

Kάθε γνωστή θρησκεία είναι ελεύθερη και τα σχετικά με τη λατρεία της τελoύνται ανεμπόδιστα υπό την πρoστασία των νόμων. H άσκηση της λατρείας δεν επιτρέπεται να πρoσβάλλει τη δημόσια τάξη ή τα χρηστά ήθη. O πρoσηλυτισμός απαγoρεύεται. (3). Oι λειτoυργoί όλων των γνωστών θρησκειών υπόκεινται στην ίδια επoπτεία της Πoλιτείας και στις ίδιες υπoχρεώσεις απέναντί της, όπως και oι λειτoυργoί της επικρατoύσας θρησκείας. (4).

    [...]

    (18) Derogation from stunning in case of religious slaughter taking place in slaughterhouses was granted by Directive 93/119/EC. Since Community provisions applicable to religious slaughter have been transposed differently depending on national contexts and considering that national rules take into account dimensions that go beyond the purpose of this Regulation, it is important that derogation from stunning animals prior to slaughter should be maintained, leaving, however, a certain level of subsidiarity to each Member State. As a consequence, this Regulation respects the freedom of religion and the right to manifest religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance, as enshrined in Article 10 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

    This factsheet examines the importance of freedom of religion in the workplace as one of the foundations of a democratic society. Jointly published by FRA and the European Court of Human Rights, it examines relevant EU law on the topic, and explains how courts handle issues where EU law and human rights law overlap. It highlights key court decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to show how these two legal systems work together on aspects of religious freedom in the workplace, such as wearing religious symbols to work and time off for religious holidays.

    This report looks at antisemitism in the EU, focusing on what can be done to address gaps in recording and inconsistencies in data collection. It highlights existing tools and guidance for Member States to improve their recording systems. The analysis is based on official administrative data and information from publicly available sources across EU Member States, as well as Albania, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Detailed country overviews are available for all countries covered. Antisemitism has been monitored by FRA since 2004. This report builds on the 2024 publication, ‘Jewish People’s Experiences and Perceptions of Antisemitism’.

    Online terrorist content is a threat to fundamental rights, rule of law and democracy. EU measures to tackle such content aim to prevent terrorism while upholding these values. FRA’s report looks at how online terrorist content is detected and removed under EU legislation. It highlights challenges in interpreting rules, risks of over-removal and potential impacts on freedom of expression. It finds that moderation practices by authorities and platforms can disproportionately affect certain groups, such as Muslims and Arabic speakers, while far-right content often receives less scrutiny. The findings, based on research and expert interviews with those addressing online terrorist content, offer ways to improve transparency in content moderation and to better balance public security and fundamental rights, contributing to wider debates on regulating online content responsibly.

    Artificial Intelligence comes with both benefits and risks. Safe AI use that accounts for fundamental rights is thus crucial. While the 2024 EU AI Act was a milestone in this regard, its broad definitions regarding AI systems and high-risk AI could introduce loopholes for fundamental rights compliance. This report offers an empirical basis for much-needed practical guidance on the Act’s implementation. Based on interviews with AI developers, sellers, and users, FRA addresses challenges of its use in critical domains, like asylum, education, and employment. Our findings help guide next steps in realising the AI Act’s potential to ensure responsible innovation.

    Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.

    Terrorhandlinger udgør en alvorlig trussel mod menneskers liv og sikkerhed og udgør en alvorlig sikkerhedsudfordring for staterne. Samtidig kan lovgivning, politikker og andre foranstaltninger til terrorbekæmpelse direkte eller indirekte medføre alvorlige indskrænkninger af de grundlæggende rettigheder og kan påvirke enkeltpersoner, grupper og samfundet som helhed negativt. I dette sammendrag præsenteres de vigtigste resultater fra FRA’s rapport om direktiv (EU) 2017/541 om bekæmpelse af terrorisme, som er det vigtigste strafferetlige instrument på EU-plan inden for terrorbekæmpelse.
