Abstract
Solidarity has been at the centre of European integration since the Schuman Declaration era. The Lisbon Treaty refers to solidarity not only as one of the prevailing common values shared by member states, but also as a fundamental objective to be promoted by the Union amongst all the people therein. The Charter of Fundamental Rights devotes a whole title to the development of this principle, while Article 80 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union stipulates that the principles of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility between member states shall govern the policies of the Union and their implementation.
