European Union.

From the beginning the EEC’s main goal was to achieve a large common market. On the 1^st of July, 1967 the European Economic Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community joined together to form the European Communities: subsequent efforts toward even greater economic and political union of the EC’s members resulted in the Treaty on European Union, which was concluded at the Maastricht Summit of December 1991. The Maastricht Treaty gives a legal framework to the three European Communities – ECSC, Euratom and EEC, which was formally renamed and is now known simply as the European Community. The Maastricht Treaty took the process of European integration one step further. It laid down a timetable for the introduction of a single currency, the euro. It broadened the notion of citizenship for nationals of the European Union by creating several new rights, such as right of petition and right of appeal to a European Ombudsman. The European Union officially came into being on 1 November of 1993. In May 1995 the Schengen Accord came into effect, which abolished border controls on persons and goods between those EU and non-EU states which have signed it. The United Kingdom did not sign the Schengen Accord. From March 1996 to June 1997 the Intergovernmental Conference was held. After long negotiations between Member States representatives a treaty known as the Amsterdam Treaty was concluded. The new Treaty meets the following objectives: to be closer to citizens and to assert their rights, to remove obstacles to free movement while making Europe an area of security, to make the Union’s institutions more efficient. The new Treaty strengthens Community policy in the fields of social affairs, the environment and public health. The 1^st May current year 10 new countries joined the European Union. This important event has extended the European Union from 15 to 25 countries. Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Cyprus hoisted the flag of EU. With regard to home affairs, the 25 Member States decided to step up their cooperation on combating terrorism, drugs and crime. With regard to foreign affairs, they want to give more force to their common foreign and security policy. For administrative purposes the EU comprises six bodies, each with specific functions and responsibilities. The main institution of the European Union, which plays the very important part in its work, is the European Council. It held at least once every six months. However, the day-to-day running of the Union’s tasks is carried out by five Community institutions: the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, (sometimes known as the Council of Ministers), the European Commission, the Court of Justice and the Court of Auditors. There also exist, at Community level, an Economic and Social Committee and a Committee of the Regions, which give advisory opinions.
