How the European Union works
INTRODUCING THE EUROPEAN UNION
The European Union in brief
How the European Union (EU) works?
At the core of the EU are:
the 28 Member States
their citizens.
The states are all sovereign & independent. Pooling sovereignty means, that the
Member States delegate some of their decision-making powers to the shared
institutions they have created so that decisions on specific matters of joint interest can
be made democratically at the European level.
The EU thus sits between the fully federal system found in the United States and the
loose, intergovernmental cooperation system seen in the United Nations.
The EU was created in 1950.
It has built:
a single market for goods and services that spans 28 Member States with over 500
million citizens free to move and settle where they wish.
the euro
the largest supplier of development and humanitarian aid programmes

The EU treaties
EU is based on the rule of law. This means that every action taken by the EU is founded
on treaties that have been approved voluntarily and democratically by all EU countries.
The treaties are negotiated and agreed by all the EU Member States and then ratified
by their parliaments or by referendum.
The treaties include:
the objectives (goals) of the EU
the rules for EU institutions
how decisions are made
how the relationship between the EU and its member Stats been made
treaties change when a new member joins
Who takes the decisions?
Decision-making at EU level involves various European institutions, in particular:
1. the European Parliament, which represents the EU’s citizens and is directly
elected by them
2. the European Council, which consists of the Heads of State or Government of the
EU Member States;
3. the Council, which represents the governments of the EU Member States;
4. the European Commission, which represents the interests of the EU as a whole.
The European Council defines the general political direction and priorities of the EU but
no legislative functions. The European Commission proposes new laws and the
European Parliament and Council that adopt them. The Member States and the
Commission then execute them.
