EU Treaty (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union)

The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) is a key legal document that outlines how the European Union (EU) operates. It establishes the EU's internal policies, defines its institutional framework, and sets rules for economic cooperation among member countries. The TFEU covers various areas, including trade, competition, consumer protection, and environmental policy. Together with other treaties, it forms the legal foundation of the EU, helping to ensure that member states work together effectively while respecting their sovereignty. Essentially, it governs the day-to-day functioning of the EU and its interactions with citizens and member nations.
