Treaty on the European Union

The Treaty on the European Union (TEU) is a key agreement that establishes the framework for the European Union (EU). Signed in 1992 in Maastricht, it outlines the EU's goals, principles, and structure, promoting unity among member countries. The treaty sets out policies on economic cooperation, foreign affairs, and security, and it introduced important concepts like European citizenship. It facilitates collaboration in various areas, enhancing political and economic integration, while also recognizing the importance of national sovereignty. Ultimately, the TEU aims to create a more interconnected and cohesive Europe.
