The EU is recognisable by several symbols, the most wellknown being the circle of twelve yellow stars
on a blue background. There is also the anthem of the Union, which is based on the 'Ode to Joy' from the
Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven .the motto of the Union is “United in diversity” and its
currency is the euro. Then there is the 9 May, which is celebrated as the Europe Day, in memory of the 1950
declaration by Robert Schuman, who initiated the European integration project.
The European Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, liberty, democracy,
equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to
minorities.
These values are common to the Member States. Moreover, the societies of the Member States are
characterised by nondiscrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men.
Any European State wishing to become a member of the Union must respect these values in order to be
considered eligible for admission..
