At the initial stage, the European Union began to consider the inner motivity in the process of integration and advocate respecting the culture in each individual country and area and to prepare laws on culture diversity. At the stage of developing, the EU treats culture as economy and politics equally getting rid of the way of treating culture only from the angle of economy, and put the culture diversity into its limits of functions and powers taking it as one of its strategetic aims and tusks.The second part gives details why culture diversity should remain in the European Union There are not only history reasons, but also realistic reasons; not only internal reasons, but also external reasons.
