It's Friday, I've decided to fast from Italian newspapers until the elections.
Here the news according to ANSA: Pope Benedict XVI at a European People's Party...
reiterated the three "non-negotiable principles" which the Roman Catholic Church would like to see become cornerstones of European politics.

Once again: note how he clearly stated the minimal set of principles asserted by the Church leaving their implementation to the "faithful creativity" of the listeners.
Clearly, rather than European, they are universal principles.
