Artikel 10 - Tankefrihet, samvetsfrihet och religionsfrihet

1. Var och en har rätt till tankefrihet, samvetsfrihet och religionsfrihet. Denna rätt innefattar frihet att byta religion eller övertygelse och frihet att ensam eller i gemenskap med andra, offentligt eller enskilt, utöva sin religion eller övertygelse genom gudstjänst, undervisning, sedvänjor och ritualer.

2. Rätten till vapenvägran ska erkännas enligt de nationella lagar som reglerar utövandet av denna rättighet.

    • Text:

      Den rättighet som garanteras i punkt 1 motsvarar den som garanteras i artikel 9 i Europakonventionen och har i enlighet med artikel 52.3 i stadgan samma innebörd och räckvidd som denna. Begränsningarna måste därför respektera artikel 9.2 i Europakonventionen, vilken har följande lydelse: `Friheten att utöva sin religion eller tro får endast underkastas sådana begränsningar som är föreskrivna i lag och som i ett demokratiskt samhälle är nödvändiga med hänsyn till den allmänna säkerheten, till skydd för allmän ordning, hälsa eller moral eller till skydd för andra personers fri- och rättigheter.`
      Den rättighet som garanteras i punkt 2 motsvarar de nationella konstitutionella traditionerna och de nationella lagstiftningarnas utveckling på denna punkt.

      Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
      Förklaringarna utarbetades ursprungligen på initiativ av presidiet för det konvent som utarbetade Europeiska unionens stadga om de grundläggande rättigheterna. De har uppdaterats på initiativ av Europeiska konventets presidium mot bakgrund av de justeringar av stadgetexten som gjorts av det senare konventet (särskilt artiklarna 51 och 52) samt unionsrättens vidare utveckling. Även om förklaringarna inte i sig har rättslig status, utgör de ett värdefullt tolkningsverktyg avsett att klargöra stadgans bestämmelser.

      [...]

      (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.
