48Moreover, it should be noted that, according to settled case-law, the officials and other employees of the European Union enjoy the right of freedom of expression, even in areas falling within the scope of the activities of the EU institutions. That freedom extends to the expression, orally or in writing, of opinions that dissent from or conflict with those held by the employing institution (see judgment of 6 March 2001, Connolly v Commission, C‑274/99 P, EU:C:2001:127, paragraph 43 and the case-law cited).
