Introduction
The people of Europe in creating an ever-closer union among them share a peaceful future based on common values. The roots of the ethical foundation are in Greek philosophy, Christianity and the Roman law. Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage the European Union is founded on the universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of freedom, security, the Common Good and justice. The European Union seeks to promote a balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital. To this end the Charter of the European Union aims to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress as well as scientific and technological developments
