Recital 1 a (new)
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) In Article 4 TEU, the Treaty itself states that the Union shall respect the national identities of the Member States, which is not unrelated to the constitutional identity of each of the Member States deriving from their constitutional cores. This programme adheres to that TEU Article and to the case law of the Court of Justice concerning respect for national identities. Thus, if a rule inherent to the national identity of a Member State were to impede application of an EU rule, that national rule could in fact prevail over EU law, since the EU has itself required that it be respected.

Recital 7
(7) Citizens should also be more aware of their rights deriving from citizenship of the Union, and should feel at ease about living, travelling, studying, working and volunteering in another Member State, and should feel able to enjoy and exercise all their citizenship rights, place their trust in equal access, full enforceability and protection of their rights without any discrimination, no matter where in the Union they happen to be. They should also be conscious and respectful of the inherent duties deriving from citizenship of the Member States. Civil society needs to be supported for the promotion, safeguarding and raising awareness of EU common values under Article 2 TEU and in contributing to the effective enjoyment of rights under Union law.

Recital 8
(8) Equality between women and men is a fundamental value and an objective of the European Union. Discrimination against and unequal treatment of women violates their fundamental rights and prevents their full political, social and economic participation in society. In addition, the existence of structural, religious and cultural barriers hinders the achievement of real gender equality. Promoting gender equality in all activities of the Union is therefore a core activity for the Union and a driver for economic growth and should be supported by the programme.
