Treaty on European Union (TEU)

The Treaty on European Union (TEU), signed in 1992, is a key agreement that laid the foundation for the European Union (EU). It aims to promote cooperation among European countries in various areas, including economic policies, political stability, and social progress. The TEU outlines the principles of the EU, such as democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and establishes the structure of EU institutions. It also facilitates deeper integration between member states, allowing them to work together on common goals while respecting their individual sovereignty. The TEU has been amended several times to adapt to changing circumstances.
