| Synopsis: |
The European Union is unique - its member countries have established common institutions to which they delegate some of their sovereignty so that decisions on matters of joint interest can be made democratically at the European level. The euro, the single currency accepted throughout twelve of the EU countries (with more to come), is one of the EU's most tangible achievements, facilitating commerce and making possible a single financial market that benefits both individuals and businesses. The EU ensures cooperation in the fight against cross-border crime and terrorism. The EU is spearheading world efforts to preserve the environment. As the world's largest trading bloc, the EU uses its influence to promote fair rules for world trade, ensuring that globalization also benefits the poorest countries. The EU is already the world's largest donor of humanitarian aid and development assistance, providing 55 per cent of global official development assistance to developing countries in 2004. Europe is a continent with many different traditions and languages, but with shared values such as democracy, freedom, and social justice-cherished values well-known to Americans. |
