<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Coptic teachers in Egypt are not allowed to teach Arabic to their pupils from the fifth year of primary school onwards. The rule is a senseless one, which only serves to degrade. Copts living in Egypt are even worse off than native Christians in other Islamic countries, since, given that there are several million of them in Egypt, they represent a significant non‑Muslim group.  Article2 of the association agreement between the European Communities and their Member States and Egypt of 25June 2001 (OJL304, 30.9.2004, p.39) lays down that respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights constitutes an ‘essential element’ of the agreement. In my view, the situation described above constitutes a clear violation of the principle of freedom of religion.  Article86 states that if a Party to the agreement considers that the other Party has failed to fulfil an obligation under the agreement, it may take appropriate measures. Before doing so, it has to supply information to the Association Council to enable the latter to examine whether a solution can be found which is acceptable to the Parties. A grave violation of an essential element of the agreement constitutes a breach of the agreement.  In the Commission's view, does the situation described above constitute a violation of the principle of freedom of religion and, accordingly, of Article2 of the agreement? If not, why not? If so, what steps will the Commission be taking under Article86 and within the framework of the political dialogue as provided for in the agreement?"
