Abstract
El Tribunal de Justicia la Unión Europea ha hecho públicas las conclusiones de sus abogadas generales en dos casos sobre discriminación por motivos de religión o convicciones en el empleo, relativos ambos al uso de símbolos religiosos personales. Este artículo analiza esas conclusiones, que parten de posturas antagónicas y llegan a resultados diferentes. Con carácter previo, se exponen algunas nociones sobre la igualdad y no discriminación en la Unión Europea. Se concluye que la orientación de las futuras sentencias del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea es incierta, aunque las conclusiones analizadas tienen ya un valor destacable, al ofrecer elementos importantes en el debate jurídico en torno al derecho fundamental de libertad religiosa y a la no discriminación por motivos de religión o convicciones.
The Court of Justice of the European Union has made public two opinions of its Advocates general in cases related to discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief in employment, both concerning the use of personal religious symbols. This article analyzes these two opinions, which stem from conflicting views and reach different conclusions. At the outset, some notions on equality and non-discrimination in the European Union are presented. The article concludes that the outcome of the future decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union is uncertain. However, the analyzed opinions already have a remarkable value on their own, since they contribute significant arguments to the legal debate on the fundamental right of religious freedom and on non-discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief.
