The Ethical Spirit of EU Values

Focusing on the ethical foundations of European Union values, this open access book explores the evolution of EU integration from its economic beginnings to the incorporation of human rights. It highlights the significance of the Lisbon Treaty, which established the EU as a 'Union of values' through Article 2 TEU. The text examines how these values are interconnected with various EU laws and their application in areas such as digitalisation, non-financial reporting, and health, particularly in the context of sports.
