Law Unit 2 P6European Union
The European Union (EU) is built upon a unique institutional system. The
origins can be traced back to the 1957 Treaty of Rome, which created the
then European Economic Community (EEC). The Treaty of Rome was primarily
concerned with stimulating economic growth by creating a common market
for the movement of goods, people and services between the member states.
Since then the political, economic and legislative powers have greatly
extended and the current European Union, built upon the "institutional
triangle" of Commission, Council and Parliament, directly influences all our
lives. References to the “common market” are now replaced by references to
the “single market”.
