The European Commissioner for Equality, Helena Dalli, withdrew the guidelines on inclusive communication in the aftermath of the controversy over the use of word Christmas, first of all, which was triggered following the publication. A step backwards, that of the Commission, which can be shared and which does not make us think a bit, since it is one of the main institutions of the Union. “My initiative to elaborate guidelines as an internal document for communication by Commission staff in its functions it was intended to achieve an important objective: to illustrate the diversity of European culture and to show the inclusive nature of the European Commission towards all walks of life and the beliefs of European citizens “, explains the Commissioner. “However, the published version of the guidelines does not adequately serve this purpose. It is not a mature document and does not meet all Commission quality standards. The guidelines clearly require more work. I am therefore withdrawing the guidelines and will work further on this document “, Dalli announces.
