European Law and its institution



What is the EU?

The EU was formed to make countries feel secure, for financial stability, to allow countries to work
together, to promote human rights and to allow people to travel freely; which gives them flexibility.
There are 28 countries that form the EU; the main countries are Belgium, Italy, France, Germany,
Netherland and Luxembourg.

The European Union’s main aims:

 Political Unity – This would help to maintain peace and to prevent war with countries that
are part of the EU.
 The Abolishment of barriers - This allowed people to travel freely, giving them more
flexibility. This also meant that they could trade goods much more easily.
 The formation of a single currency
 Promotion of Human Rights – The Human Rights Act had stemmed from Europe so the EU is
very determined to promote this.

There are five key organisations in the European Union. Each organisation has its own role to play
and they also keep a check on the other organisations, so they have greater liability. These
organisations are:

1. The European Parliament
2. The European Council
3. The European Commission
4. The European Court of Justice
5. Council of the European Union
