treaty

Your sentence is a rather illogical snippet from the following text on the problems faced by countries wishing to join the EU:

"De kandidaat-lidstaten moeten:
- deel uitmaken van het werelddeel Europa;
- de in artikel 6 (ex artikel F), lid 1, van het Verdrag opgenomen grondbeginselen van de Unie eerbiedigen"

The English version reads:
"Countries applying for accession must:
- be part of the European continent;
- respect the principles on which the Union is founded, as set out in Article 6 (ex F)(1) of the Treaty"

All this agreement reminds me of something Mark Twain once said: "When you find yourself agreeing with the majority, it's time to step back and reconsider your views." ;-]]
