Europe must be built on democratic institutions whose underlying principles and operations must be based on a civil and social system of values which will bring about harmony between the different human groups from which Europe derives its richness and its vitality. Theses values and underlying principles must not expose the peoples of Europe to clashes between "communities", religious rivalries, simplistic fundamentalism or the usurpation of civil rights by the clergy. This draft is meant as a contribution to the setting up of a Charter whose aim shall be to define the scope and nature of the underlying values on which European Union (EU) and its institutions must be founded if they are to be instruments of progress.
