The European Union (EU) is a unique political and economic union between 27 European countries that together cover much of the continent. Established by the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, the EU has developed a single market through a standardized system of laws that apply in all member states, ensuring the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital. The EU operates through a hybrid system of supranational and intergovernmental decision-making, with its own institutions and legislation that influence various aspects of life in Europe and beyond.
As a global actor, the EU plays a significant role in international affairs, including trade, development, and humanitarian aid. It is committed to promoting peace, stability, and prosperity, not only within its borders but also in neighboring regions and globally. The EU’s external actions are guided by principles of democracy, rule of law, and respect for human rights. It engages in numerous partnerships and initiatives aimed at fostering sustainable development and addressing global challenges such as climate change, security, and migration.
The EU engages with numerous African countries through various programs and partnerships, focusing on development, trade, and humanitarian aid.
