what is the EU

What is the European Union?


How was the European Union Formed?

In 1951, six countries founded the European Coal and Steel Community which included: Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Later, in 1957, it expanded its economic range as the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community.   In the next half a century a further 22 countries have joined and the name changed to  European Economic Comunity (E.E.C.). In 2004, there was a historic expansion  marking the reunification of Europe after decades of division and the name changed again to the most  recent version: the European Union  (EU).
