The European Union

The European Union was born after the II world war, some countries
decided to form a union to prevent more wars in the future. The
countries of the European Union are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, Netherlands, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and
United Kingdom. All languages are
official, but the more important
are French and
English. The official
currency is euro, but in
England they use pound.

The official seat of the European Union is the European Parliament in


Strasbourg.
Every six months, the EU change of country
president (twice year).
There are 498.1 millions of citizens in it. The day
of the UE is 26th of September.
The objectives of it are: promote economic and
social progress, speak for the EU on the
international scene, make Europe an area of
peace, security and justice and maintain and extend existing EU law.
The rights of the UE citizens are: live and work in any EU country,
vote in the EU elections and there are a lot, but I don’t know more.

The fist members were Belgium, Italy, Luxemburg and the


Netherlands, as well as France and Germany. The last members were
Romania and Bulgaria.

I think what the European Union is good because we can travel better.
