“…Further, scholars find ambiguity considering solidarity in the EU Treaties and its interpretation. While some academics argue that Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) cites solidarity as one of the EU’s values (Domurath 2013 ; Closa and Maatsch 2014 ), Ross ( 2020 ) emphasizes that solidarity appears in Article 2 but is not listed as a value.…”

Comparing solidarity attitudes between EU citizens is significant in the context of European integration, since solidarity—or rather the lack thereof—has been used in public debates and recent studies as an explanation for a variety of crises. In these academic studies, the measurement of solidarity and its conceptualization strongly differ and that prevents us from evaluating the long-term existence of solidarity in the EU or its effectiveness. This article intends to narrow this gap by starting a theoretical discussion on a possible standardized question on fiscal solidarity in the EU. To do so, it examines existing questions and borrows from the research on social trust and survey methodology. Then, it proposes a new fiscal solidarity question, of which its reliability and validity is assessed via the Survey Quality Predictor, a computer program to evaluate survey questions. This article argues that the new fiscal solidarity question should mention the term solidarity and include the solidarity practice defined as permanent financial help. Once established, a standard solidarity question will strengthen the comparability of solidarity in continued social science research.

“…17 However, the knowledge about solidarity is still incomplete and its conceptualization in the EU legal order needs to be more developed. 18 Despite the central role for member state solidarity, some legal bases justify a broader solidarity role for the EU. The Solidarity Clause in Article 222 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) states that 'the Union and its Member States shall act jointly in a spirit of solidarity if a Member State is the object of a terrorist attack or the victim of a natural or man-made disaster. '…”

Solidarity is one of the oldest but still ambiguous principles of the European Union (EU). In the year 2020, COVID-19 took its place among many other previous litmus tests over solidarity. Initial reluctance of European instutions and lack of effective joint counter-disaster mechanisms, to cope with the unprecedented social and economic devastation caused by the pandemic, triggered once more a wave of harsh criticism of solidarity principle. Although the pandemic did not reach to its end, and it is still too early to measure its overall results in the EU, the article asserts that, a positive tendency for European members' adherence to solidarity principle is on rise.

“…Several authors have shown how solidarity has gradually been included in EU treaties, and how the concept is emphasised as one of the EU's fundamental values in the TFEU (Ross, 2010;Saracino, 2014;Stjernø, 2015). Domurath (2013) has, for example, identified three forms of solidarity the TFEU: between the Member States, between the Member States and the individuals and between generations. There are also many authors who have raised the question whether there is a solidarity crisis in Europe, and especially related to the Euro and economic crisis that began in 2007 (Brunkhorst, 2011;Offe, 2013).…”
