History of the EU
The EU started in 1957 under the name EEC or European
Economic Community. At this time there were only 6 members
until the UK joined in 1973 shortly followed by more countries.
In 1993, the current name was introduced. By 2004 many
eastern European countries had joined, and now in 2015 there
are 28 countries. The initial aim was to create a level playing
field in terms of manufacture and sales of goods. Businesses
now have to stick to strict EU laws and regulations so that
quality and safety is standardised throughout each country.
