European Values

‘United in diversity’? It is the EU’s motto and it represents what the EU’s values are all about. While each EU country has its own culture, language and traditions, they all share the same common values and must respect them if they want to be part of the European Union. 

One fundamental value that unites all the Member States is democracy. This means that only democratic countries can be members of the EU. 

The other values of the EU that are common to all Member States are human dignity, freedom, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of people belonging to minority groups.
