    EUROPEAN UNION

    Wishiami Swari, S.IP., LL.M


    The European Union & Its History

     The European Union is a group of 27 countries in Europe.


    These countries came together
    to make things better, easier and safer for people.
    They agreed to work together and help each other.
     The European Union (EU) is with authority over their political, economic, and
    social policies.

     The EU aims to ensure peace, encourage free trade, and tailor policies to work
    towards the benefit of its members.

     It functions as a single unit in international trade, making it the largest trading


    power in the world.
     The European Union was built with the aim of ending frequent wars among
    neighboring countries following the Second World War. In 1951, the European
    Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) started uniting nations to achieve peace.
     The Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957, creating the European Economic
    Community, or a “common market.” It was followed by a period of economic
    growth – a result of lowering trade restrictions among member states.
     The EU experienced continued expansion ever since, with the fall of
    communism and the Berlin Wall supporting a closer-knit Europe. In 1993, the
    “Single Market” agreement was completed, allowing four types of freedoms –
    the movement of goods, services, people, and money.
     As more members joined the EU, it grew from a community of six member
    states to 27 member states.
     However, the establishment of EU comes to the effect on
    November 1, 1993, Maastricht, Netherlands
     In the beginning, only 6 countries in Europe started working together:
     Belgium

     Germany

     France

    can buy things they want from Belgium

    makes it easier for people to travel,
    buy things online from other countries
    and have more options.

    now easier for people to travel for work or tourism.
