2017年，CJEU在关于禁止在工作场所佩戴伊斯兰头巾的两起案件中作出判决，认为根据第2000/78/EC号指令，可能存在基于宗教或信仰的歧视。这些判决招致了严厉的批评，主要是因为CJEU没有进行严格的相称性测试，留下了一些有待解决的问题。德国法院最近提交的两份初步参考文件为CJEU提供了一个机会，以扩大先前的判决，并回答它们留下的问题。有人认为，CJEU应该以一种尊重欧洲宗教多样性的方式处理这一未完成的事务，并确保宗教和信仰的理由不会成为欧盟反歧视法律的糟糕关系。
In 2017, the CJEU brought out its judgments in two cases concerning bans on the wearing of Islamic headscarves at work as possible discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief under Directive 2000/78/EC. These judgments led to heavy criticism, mainly because the CJEU did not do a rigorous proportionality test and left a number of questions open. Two recent preliminary references from courts in Germany present the CJEU with an opportunity to expand on the earlier judgments and to answer the questions they left open. It is submitted that the CJEU should deal with this unfinished business in a way which respects Europe’s religious diversity and ensures that the ground of religion and belief does not become the poor relation of EU anti-discrimination law.
