European contradicting principle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pole

This clue is a double definition.

'european' is the first definition.
(Pole is an example)

'contradicting principle' is the second definition.
(as in opposite poles of a spectrum)

(Other definitions for pole that I've seen before include "Heavenly body indicating north" , "Punt propeller" , "Chopin, for example" , "Magnet end" , "Rod, perch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
