SOLIDARITY PRINCIPLE IN THE EU. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF APPLICATION IN THE FIELDS OF DEFENCE AND MIGRATION

Summary/Abstract: The principle of solidarity has played an important role in the political and institutional dynamics that have accompanied the process of European construction and integration over the years. The first starting point that formed the basis of the current European Union comes from the words of Schumann. In his famous declaration of 1950, the French politician proposed the construction of a 'European Coal and Steel Community', whose members would pool the production of these two elements (precisely coal and steel). In particular, Schumann, emphasizing the impossibility of building a united Europe in a short period of time, pointed out that the success of this initiative would have to come through the resolution of the long-standing and deep-seated rivalry between France and Germany. Furthermore, focusing on the common production of the two energy resources mentioned above, so important in the industrial processes of the time, would lay a common foundation, again according to Schumann, for a prosperous and shared path of economic-industrial development, in the name of economic solidarity between the member states.
