EU integration
EU integration refers to the process by which European countries cooperate more closely, sharing policies, rules, and institutions to promote economic growth, stability, and security. This includes creating a single market allowing free movement of goods, services, people, and capital, as well as aligning laws and standards. Over time, member states have committed to joint decision-making on various issues, fostering political and economic unity. The goal is to enhance prosperity and stability across Europe by working together on common challenges while respecting the sovereignty of individual nations.
