The European Union (EU) is an economic union of 28 member states which are
located primarily in Europe. The EU is not a sovereign state in itself, and therefore
in strict terms is not a political union. The EU traces its origins from the European
Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC),
formed by six countries in 1957 (the treaty was signed on March 25, 1957 and
officially established January 1, 1958). In the intervening years the EU has grown
in size by the accession of new member states, and in power by the addition of
policy areas. The Maastricht Treaty established the European Union under its current
name in 1993. The last amendment to the constitutional basis of the EU, the Treaty
of Lisbon, came into force in 2009.

The EU is recognisable by several symbols, the most
well-known being the circle of yellow stars on a blue
background. The 12 stars in a circle symbolise the ideals
of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of
Europe. The European flag is the symbol not only of the
European Union but also of Europe’s unity and identity
in a wider sense.
The European anthem
The melody used to symbolise the EU comes from the
Ninth Symphony composed in 1823 by Ludwig Van
Beethoven.
Europe Day
The ideas behind the European Union were first
put forward on 9 May 1950 by the French foreign
minister Robert Schuman. This is why 9 May is
celebrated as a key date for the EU.
The EU motto – “United in diversity” is the motto

traditions and languages.

technical, scientific or managerial tasks.

meetings in Brussels and its plenary sessions in
