EU BANNED USING MR/MS PREFIXES - that’s what many “conservative” profiles are now pumping on social media, implying they’re now “banned” everywhere.
Reality is much more prosaic: #France association “Mousse” sued French railways (SNCF Connect) because it requires specifying Monsieur or Madame on the forms to buy tickets. The court ruled there’s no business need for collecting that information. End of story 🤷
Coming from a country which obsessively requires people to select not only between Monsieur and Madame but from a dozen of “English honorifics” (Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss/Reverend/Sir/Lord etc) I would welcome this ruling here as well :)
EU Tribunal ruling: Case C‑394/23
