The unification of Europe is important and we must co-operate more closely on all levels but the Youth Parliament does not want a single European state. The human being is a cultural being. Given that he has grown within a society, he has absorbed standards and values. Nothing is natural, everything is cultural. The individual has been shaped by a past, a language, a religion, a history, artistic movements, through a representation of the world that its environment implicitly injected into him.
Culture is thus an identity.
Europe has not been moulded in a single identity pattern. There is not a European culture but European cultures. It is the expression of past and present community life through its literature, art and daily habits. It reflects many years of conflicts and success throughout the history and folklore. Existing European Union members have respect for democratic values and human rights.
