In 1957, six European nations collaborated to form the European Economic Commission. The Treaty of Rome was entered into and a regional European economic bloc was formed. Sixty-five years later, the European Union (EU) is arguably the most powerful political and economic regional bloc in the world.
It is a regional bloc comprising 27 member states who partner in various aspects like commerce, trade, citizenship, free movement of goods and people and many others. The EU’s impact is felt globally and has shaped a lot of political and economic decisions.
