The Ethical Spirit of EU Values: Status Quo of the Union of Values and Future Direction of Travel by Markus FrischhutEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 283 Pages | ISBN : 3031127137 | 9.6 MB
This book, summarising the research conducted at this Jean Monnet Chair, seeks to identify the ethical spirit of European Union (EU) values. EU integration began at the economic level; human rights were only added at a later stage. Finally, the Lisbon Treaty turned the EU into a ‘Union of values’ by enshrining certain concepts in Art 2 TEU. This provision can be seen as a hub linked to various other provisions of EU primary and secondary law. The values contained therein have, amongst others, been applied to two areas (digitalisation and non-financial reporting, partly in sports), and further specified in others (health and partly in sports).
