About EU
The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member states primarily located in Europe, established to foster peace, stability, and prosperity through integration. Emerging from post-WWII cooperation, it was formally created by the 1993 Maastricht Treaty, building on earlier foundations like the European Coal and Steel Community. The EU operates a single market allowing free movement of goods, services, capital, and people, and shares common policies on trade, agriculture, and regional development. Key institutions include the European Commission (executive), European Parliament (elected), and European Council (national leaders).
The EU is known for achievements like the euro currency (used by 20 members), the Schengen passport-free zone, and its role as a global leader in climate action and human rights. Combining supranational governance with intergovernmental cooperation, the EU represents over 440 million citizens and remains the world’s largest trading bloc, promoting democratic values and multilateralism.
