1_EU in general

The EU at a glance
→ 28 countries (27 after Brexit) (+ potential Balkan countries)

→ ± 510 million citizens

→ 24 official languages

What is the European Union?

→ NOT a federation (=partially self-governing state under a central government)
→ MORE THAN a democracy + international organisation
→ AT A MINIMUM: “A union based on politics, on economics and on rules”
o Political and economic union at a minimum
o Rule-making body !
Basis of EU: treaties

(> EU objectives and values

Values of EU (Article 2, TEU)

Respect for human dignity ⚫ Freedom ⚫ Democracy ⚫ Equality ⚫ The rule of law ⚫ Respect for human
rights (especially minorities)

The member states:
society of pluralism ⚫ Non-discrimination ⚫ Tolerance ⚫ Justice ⚫ Solidarity ⚫ Equality between men
and women

How are these values internally challenged inside the EU?

• Italy (migration crisis): too much refugees, not meeting requirements rule of law + human rights
• Other member states: solidarity by taking in people; but solidarity in securing borders!
treaty with Turkey → challenge in human rights

• Regions from countries in EU seeking independence/higher autonomy
Eu pretends they have no ‘power’: is an issue for the countries themselves

• Poland: government is putting judiciary system in bad day light.
reforming power of choosing judges in parliament (by most powerful party in government)
→ no separation of powers anymore

Why does the EU not fall apart after the challenge of its values?
EU motto: United in diversity
Is part of EU’s strength (by talking to countries and sometimes overlooking)
