Abstract: The article has the purpose to present the European values the way they are presented in the Lisbon Treaty and to detect the evolution of the values which are in the foreground of the Community’s preoccupations. This way the transition from the concept of common values to the concept of European values is presented, it’s purpose to avoid the opposition of eurosceptics who saw in the first formulation a loss of national identity. Afterwards, the European values which are mentioned in the Lisbon Treaty are presented and the main preoccupations in this area, namely the accent on the human being and, especially on minorities are highlighted.
