A company's internal work rules "which prohibit the wearing of religious, philosophical or spiritual signs in a visible manner do not constitute direct discrimination if they are applied in a general and indiscriminate manner."

This is what was decided by the European Court of Justice, speaking about the case of a citizen from Belgium with Muslim faith. The woman was denied an internship contract after refusing to remove her headscarf to comply with the company's neutrality policy.

In the decision of the Court of Justice of the EU, Luxembourg judges note that "religion and personal beliefs must be considered as the one and only basis of discrimination, otherwise jeopardizing the general framework for equal treatment in terms of employment and working conditions , defined by EU law".

The Court specifies that, under Community law, "a provision of a company's work regulations that prohibits employees from expressing verbally, by clothing or in any other way, their religious or philosophical beliefs of any kind does not constitute, in in relation to employees who intend to exercise their freedom of religion and conscience by conspicuously wearing a sign or clothing with a religious connotation, direct discrimination 'based on religion or personal belief', provided that the provisions of applied in a general and indiscriminate manner".
