1951 played a crucial role in the development of a fundamentally new economic relations between several European countries.This year was born one of the most successful economic projects.We are talking about the European Economic Community.At first it was rather modest union, which has a membership of only six European countries.It was a well-developed country with a stable economy and excellent prospects for the future.
Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg - the countries of the EU, were pioneers of the new political and economic relations in the whole community.In fact, it was a rehearsal for a future economic union.In 1951 he was also a new Western European economic integration.Start of the project developed while countries was so successful that academic economists in retrospect the period from late 50s to mid-70s called "golden age" in the life of the European Community.
This countdown begin to emergence of the EU since 1957, because it was then that agreement was signed on the establishment of a completely new type of relations - European Economic Community.The countries of the European Union differed unprecedented economic growth.Characteristically, and that continued progress was observed in the next 15 years.
countries outside the EU, provided their people high standards of living due to the fact that the new organization is clearly set goals and implement them in a certain sequence, and quite successfully.In the first period (50-70 years) is considered to be a great achievement of the successful creation of a unified agricultural market.UK, Ireland and Denmark, supplemented by evidence above list in 1973.
What was it - or economic miracle of thought-balanced policy?Rather, the latter, as the countries of the EU, we decided to immediately many questions due to the fact that to ensure a successful trade within the Union.They removed the restrictions on movement of capital, people and services, introduced a common policy on transport and agriculture, and, most importantly, unified tax system.
Initially, the countries of the European Union, have set and successfully implemented the aim to create a single market for goods and capital, as well as rational use of organized labor in the EU area.The Union has provided a high degree of economic development, stable monetary and financial relations, humanitarian cooperation, balanced foreign policy and security of the countries that are members of the union.
historically important was 1967, when within the union were created the basic legal institutions: the European Commission, Parliament, the Council and the Court.The next event was the adoption of a part of Greece in 1981.This led to the conflict, which was caused by a mismatch of the Greek economy and the level of those countries that were part of the Union for a long time.Countries outside the EU at that time had higher rates of economic growth.The accession of Greece led to a number of difficulties and losses.
In 1986, the countries of the European Union, the two states totaled more due to the accession of Spain and Portugal.A major role in shaping the future of the EU played the Maastricht Treaty, which was signed in February 1992.The countries of the European Union, by this time had in its ranks more than 15 members.In the same year was set up a single European bank with the major powers and the right to issue the single currency.
1 January 1995 the EU includes such advanced countries as Finland, Austria and Sweden.The Amsterdam Treaty in June 1997, contains a specific plan for the enlargement of the European Union, it had to go in the long term the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.The plan, as did everyone else, the union carried out as "excellent", but faced with the additional economic problems.
In 2004, the Commonwealth entered State: Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Estonia.It was a triumph of Eastern Europe.She found her lucky chance to join the successful European economic structure, and the inhabitants of these countries have moved to a new, more quality of life.
In 2007, the EU adopted in the numbers of Romania and Bulgaria.
What does the EU is today?This international economics education, which still successfully there, and get into it the dream of many countries.By all indications - is, of course, an international organization, even with the functions of the state.However, it is technically - a union, but one that has the full right to participate in the integration of international relations, and its influence is growing every year.Unquestionably, the merit of the EU is that it is able to bring lasting peace, prosperity and stability in Europe.
