EU (European Union)

The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 European countries that collaborate to promote peace, stability, and prosperity. Established to enhance economic cooperation and prevent conflicts, the EU allows member states to work together on issues like trade, environment, and security. It has its own institutions, such as the European Parliament and the European Commission, which help to create and enforce common policies. The EU also allows for free movement of people, goods, services, and capital among member countries, making it easier for citizens and businesses to operate across borders.
