There is no contradiction or incompatibility between paragraph 1 and Article 19 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which has a different scope and purpose: Article 19 confers power on the Union to adopt legislative acts, including harmonisation of the Member States' laws and regulations, to combat certain forms of discrimination, listed exhaustively in that Article.
Níl mír 1 agus Airteagal 19 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh contrártha lena chéile ná níl siad ar neamhréir le chéile ná ní hionann an raon feidhme ná an chríoch atá acu: tugann Airteagal 19 cumhacht don Aontas chun gníomhartha reachtacha a ghlacadh, lena n-áirítear comhchuibhiú ar dhlíthe agus ar rialacháin na mBallstát, chun cineálacha áirithe idirdhealaithe, a bhfuil liosta iomlán díobh san Airteagal sin, a chomhrac.
