The European Union Report

In the class of English for specific purposes we have a blog which was created by our teacher to give us material about the subjects we have seen during the classes. We were asked to read some information about the European Union and gather more information about it in order to understand better its concepts, objectives and its features. We were presenting just some aspects that made us have a clearer idea about it. To understand better what the European Union is, it is necessary to start from scratch, knowing the most important characteristics that this body implies.

The European Commission is a body which was created with the objective to establish an union between the entities in Europe. in which common interest and treaties between them trigger the equality between countries. It is composed by 27 Commissioners that operate it. Every Commissioner represents his state and those are representing the interest of The European Union as a whole.

One of the most important objectives of the creation of this body is to offer peace and economic stability towards European citizens. At the same time, as the body is responsible for proposing legislation and implementing decisions, it tries to face all the security and protection affairs to guarantee the welfare of all its entities. For this reason, all the members which are part of the European Union closely cooperate.

As the EU is worried about prosperity of all is citizens, it provides an economic and balanced development that triggers citizens and entities’ prosperity. It is known that EU supplies entrepreneurs a vital platform to compete between other markets in order to benefit European citizens. The solidarity criterion that it applies towards people is one of the several aids that involve the EU. For instance, when a natural disaster comes up, this body helps them from part of its budget.

At the same time, the usage of just one currency as the euro in European countries is a factor that has had a huge influence in its economy. The EU is the most important commercial potency around the world and it is due to the union of every part of its members because they work as a whole having only an unique voice of the European Union. All of this with the aid of increasing the economic development in European countries.

It was required to research from several resources to understand much better what the European Union exactly established. At the beginning, it was an easy work; however, it was interesting to know more about it. I think that a person who is an economist knows a lot about this body, though, I felt attracted by having information about something I did not know and I can understand now.
