The meaning of the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article 12 is the same as that of the ECHR, but their scope is wider since they apply at all levels including European level.
Is ionann an bhrí atá le forálacha mhír 1 den Airteagal seo 12 agus an bhrí atá leis an CECD ach is forleithne ar aon feidhme toisc go bhfuil feidhm acu ar gach uile leibhéal, lena n-áirítear an leibhéal Eorpach.
