Luxembourg Christian Social Party the CSV is drawing up a text to propose the banning of the wearing of burkas in Luxembourg.
The party plans to table a debate on a potential prohibition of the full-length veil, covering the face, which is worn in public by some Muslim women.
CSV MEP Viviane Reding said the goal of such a ban would be to promote and protect equal rights of women in Luxembourg society.
