Summary/Abstract: Stated or not, assumed with certainty, the two objectives of the European construction have accompanied its entire evolution in the 70 years since the first Constitutive Treaty, the one dedicated to the European Coal and Steel Community. Today, with the war in Ukraine, the European Union - a temple of peace and well-being - is confronted with belligerence. Not on its territory but on its borders. Not in the case of a member state, but with an associated one1 and with the prospect of accession. Without directly affecting its territory (currently and apparently), but on the map of Europe as it appeared in the projection of the founding fathers. Consequently, we see the need for a return of the EU towards its original objectives. As stated in Article 3 of the TEU, peace, values and well-being seem to need renewed attention. Who expected that in the third millennium there would be a need for such reorientations?
