This heritage also includes ideas about important values that characterise us Europeans and our way of thinking and acting. These are, for example, fundamental ideas of Greco-Roman philosophy, such as <strong>critical thinking, the rule of reason, the value of virtues, and the distinction between monarchy, aristocracy and democracy<\/strong>. The humanist educational movement revived these ideas and values during the Renaissance period, but placed the individual at the centre: every person should be able to develop their personality and dignity to the fullest extent possible. <\/p><p>Throughout Europe, Reformation paved the way for a greater <strong>separation of church and state <\/strong>(known as secularisation), although this did not take hold to the same extent in all countries. The Age of Enlightenment continues to shape our society today with its <strong>belief in scientific knowledge<\/strong>, the necessity for <strong>separation of powers <\/strong>and the idea of <strong>popular sovereignty<\/strong>, as well as the <strong>right to individual self-determination and independence. <\/strong> <\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2228 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.euwww.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/www16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"169\"><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ea91e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2ea91e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A long road to Article 2 TEU <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a7bb05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a7bb05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Including universally applicable values and fundamental rights in the Community treaties is neither self-evident nor was it intended from the outset: the only value already mentioned in Article 7 of the 1957 Treaty establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) is the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of nationality.<\/p><p>This international treaty concluded between sovereign states did not contain or require any provisions regarding solidarity or democracy. Cooperation was primarily intended to reduce trade barriers \u2013 and not to establish a political community that would have implications on the rights and obligations of citizens in the contracting states<\/p><p>It was not until 45 years later, when the Maastricht Treaty on European Union (TEU) was signed in 1992, that democracy was stated as a requirement (Article F EU Treaty). However, this only referred to democracy in the Member States. In addition, the EU for the first time committed itself to respecting fundamental rights as enshrined in the constitutions of the Member States and in the European Convention on Human Rights. Cooperation between EU Member States had become more pronounced, and decisions taken jointly influenced people in more and more areas of life. With this, an increasing number of people called for EU policy to be based on the same democratic and constitutional standards as those applicable to Member States. This was then incorporated into the EU Treaty in 1997. The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights was drafted in 2000 but only became legally binding when the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force in 2009. Article 2 TEU also took its current form in that year.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61862d8 ueberschrift2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"61862d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Literature<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8feeea linkcolor elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8feeea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p> <\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eu-values.eu\/videohub\/v\/normativepower-values-legitimacy-europe\">EU-VALUES Talks \/ Prof. Ian Manners, Lund University, 2026: What does the EU stand for?
