See: Commission reports on state of fundamental rights in the EU (Press release, link) and see: 2015 Report on the Application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Com 265-16, pdf): The report opens with:

"The EU faced numerous challenges in 2015: security threats, unprecedented arrivals of refugees and migrants, a rise in populism and xenophobia. These put EU values and solidarity to the test. Facing such challenges, it is vital to uphold the EU's common values of democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law."

Statewatch comment: In regard to the refugee crisis EU values were certainly put to the test and blatantly failed. As to upholding "fundamental rights and the rule of law" they were thrown out of the window by the EU-Turkey "dodgy deal."
