The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member
states that are located primarily in Europe.

The EU aims:
 promote peace,
create a single economic and monetary system, 
 break down barriers to trade and borders, 
promote technological and scientific developments,
 protect the environment, 
promote such goals such as a competitive global market and social progress.
Prerequisites for Britain's exit from the EU

• The European debt crisis,​
• Immigration,
• Terrorism,​
• The perception of the Brussels ​
bureaucracy on the British economy

     partnership.

• What will happen to UK citizens living in other EU countries and, 
 equally, what will happen to EU citizens living in the UK

• How to avoid the return of the physical border between Northern 
 Ireland and the Republic of Ireland when it becomes 
     the border between Great Britain and the EU
