Some of the other miscellaneous provisions of the treaty, its protocols, and non-binding declarations of intent:
Churches
In response to a request from the Germans, who fund their Churches from state taxes, a treaty declaration commits the Union to respect the status of "Churches and philosophical and non-confessional organisations" in the member states. The expanded formula, at the request of the Belgians, also thus provides a degree of protection for organisations like the freemasons.
Culture
The existing "The Community shall take cultural aspects into account in its actions under other provisions of the treaty" is supplemented by "in particular in order to respect and to promote the diversity of its cultures"
Lifelong learning
A clause promoting "the highest possible level of knowledge . . . through wide access to education and through its continuous updating"
Islands
Islands are added to the list of regions requiring special developmental attention by the Union.
Services of general economic interest
A new clause and declaration provide some limited protection to public services whose social remit, particularly in remote rural areas, is threatened by deregulation and open competition rules.
Public broadcasting
Member states are specifically enabled to continue public funding of broadcasting insofar at it is performing a public service function.
Animal Welfare
A protocol - a British initiative, needless to say - requires the Union when formulating policy on farming, transport, the internal market, or research to "pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals while respecting the legislative provisions or customs of the member states relating in particular to religious rites, cultural traditions and regional heritage"
Death penalty
A declaration reminds member states of their obligations under international law to abolish the death penalty. Britain alone has not ratified the relevant convention but has not applied the death penalty in recent years.
Sport
A declaration recognises the "social significance of sport, in particular its role in forging identity and bringing people together". It calls on institutions to listen to sporting bodies when matters affecting them are under consideration.
