    The European Union is a political and economic union of 27 European countries with a combined population of 490 million people, representing 7% of the world's population and 30% of global GDP. The principal objectives of the EU are to establish European citizenship, ensure freedom, security, and justice, promote economic and social progress, and assert Europe's role in the world. The EU originated from the dream of European brotherhood after World War 2 and is based on delegated sovereignty to common institutions representing the interests of the Union. The EU is run by five institutions that each play a specific role in governing the union.

    Basis of the EU
    The European Union is based on the rule of law and democracy. It is neither a new State replacing existing ones nor is it comparable to other international organisations. Its Member States delegate sovereignty to common institutions representing the interests of the Union as a whole on questions of joint interest. All decisions and procedures are derived from the basic treaties ratified by the Member States.

    The EU is run by five institutions, each playing a specific role:

    European Parliament
    elected by the peoples of the Member States

    Council of the Union


    composed of the governments of the Member States

    European Commission
    driving force and executive body

    Court of Justice
    compliance with the law

    Court of Auditors
    sound and lawful management of the EU budget
