Social Sciences - Governo/política / EU Patent
português termo ou frase: regras matriciais (in this context)
N.B. This is nothing to do with matrices in the literal sense. It occurs in comments on the European Union's proposal to create an EU Patent and obviously has a wider, or even metaphorical, meaning.

"Todavia, esse propósito não pode ser prosseguido à custa de **regras matriciais** da União Europeia, com violação de princípios fundamentais da própria cidadania europeia, com quebra da coesão europeia e fractura do mercado interno ou com introdução de novos factores de discriminação, desigualdade e desequilíbrio."

BTW, "esse propósito" is the proposal to create an EU Patent.

Thank you, Gabriela. I'd deduced 'basic' or 'fundamental' myself but couldn't explain why. Your explanation of regras "mãe" made it clear. I'm surprised I've never come across this usage before.

foundational principles


Explicação:
I think they don't mean matrix in the literal sense you mention, lexical, but rather in its meaning of a source of origin, i.e., foundation.

basic precepts/canons that govern [the European Union]

'Principles' can't be used because it's needed later in the sentence.
