The aim of this report is not to question or to fight a belief – the right to freedom of belief does not permit that. The aim is to warn against certain tendencies to pass off a belief as science. It is necessary to separate belief from science. It is not a matter of antagonism. Science and belief must be able to coexist. It is not a matter of opposing belief and science, but it is necessary to prevent belief from opposing science.

It sounds like they are stuttering, but they have the right idea

Mighty good news.
I suppose we should teach ABOUT creationism, in the context of anthropology and comparative religion, but to TEACH creationism as an even remotely plausible account of what actually happened is just dumb.
Good on you, Europe.
