About the European Union<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political union between twenty-seven European countries, working together to improve the lives of people in Europe and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU has been working for peace, prosperity, and the well-being of its citizens for over sixty years. Starting with six founding countries\u2014or Member States\u2014in the 1950s, it has grown into a union of twenty-seven countries with a population of almost 450 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What began as an economic project to help raise living standards in postwar Europe has led to the creation of the world's largest single market, where people, goods, services, and money can move freely. Over the decades, the EU has expanded its scope into areas where cooperation between countries yields better results. Member States are convinced that by working together, they are stronger and better able to address today's major challenges, such as climate change and the digital transformation of our society, as well as serious threats to health and security, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
