EU-Just a few questions/?

Question

Can someone tell me what the major treaties are of the EU.

And what future policies should the EU concern themselves with?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The EU has developed a single market through a standardised system of laws which apply in all member states, guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital.  It maintains a common trade policy, agricultural and fisheries policies, and a regional development policy.  Fifteen member states have adopted a common currency, the euro. It has developed a role in foreign policy, representing its members in the World Trade Organization, at G8 summits and at the United Nations. Twenty-one EU countries are members of NATO. It has developed a role in justice and home affairs, including the abolition of passport control between many member states under the Schengen Agreement.
