The EU

The European Union is an organization of European countries. The EU headquartes are in Brusel, Belgium. The European Union was established on November first in year 1993. (In the form we know it today).

In these days the European Union has 27 members but in the beginning was 12 states. There were these states: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK.

Because of in the beginning was 12 states the EU has12 gold stars on the blue flag.

The major bodies of the EU are the European Commision which is the highest administrative body. The Council of theEuropean Unionis the most important and powerful body. The European Parlament has little real power apart from overseeing the work of the Council and the Commision. The European Court of Justice carries about law in the EU. Court of Auditors carries about all finances of the EU. European Central Bank carries about budget and began in 1998.

I am going to speak about euro. The euro is the monetary unit of the EU. Banknote has same design in every countries but the coins have a unified design on one side and national design on the other hand. But every countries have not a euro. For example Czech Republic has not euro and in the EU is from year 2004.
