IV. Текст
The European Union or the EU is an intergovernmental and supranational union of 27 European countries, known as member states. The European Union was established under that name in 1992 by the Treaty on European Union, the Maastricht Treaty. However, many aspects of the Union existed before that date through a series of predecessor relationships, dating back to 1951.
The European Union's activities cover all areas of public policy, from health and economic policy to foreign affairs and defence. However, the extent of its powers differs greatly between areas. Depending on the area, the EU may therefore resemble a federation, for example, on monetary affairs, agricultural, trade and environmental policy or a confederation, for example, on social and economic policy, consumer protection, home affairs, or even an international organization, for example, in foreign affairs.
A key activity of the EU is the establishment and administration of a common single market, consisting of a customs union, a single currency adopted by 16 of the 27 member states, a Common Agricultural Policy, a common trade policy, and a Common Fisheries Policy.
The most important EU institutions are the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice.
As to the enlargement of the EU there were five successive enlargements, with the largest occurring on May 1, 2004, when 10 new member states joined.
Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU on 1 January 2007, so European Union has 27 member states. The process of enlargement is sometimes referred to as European integration.
In order to join the European Union, a state needs to fulfil the economic and political conditions generally known as the Copenhagen criteria, after the Copenhagen summit in June 1993. These require a stable democracy that respects human rights and the rule of law; a functioning market economy capable of competition within the EU; and the acceptance of the obligations of membership, including EU law. Also, according to the EU Treaty, each current member state and the European Parliament have to agree.
The European Union has 27 member states, an area of 4,422,773 square kilometers and approximately 500 million EU citizens by 2010. If it were a country, it would be the seventh largest in the world by area and the third largest by population after China and India.
The European Union has land borders with 20 nations and sea borders with 31.
