 The first fifty years of the EU

There are many events lined up for  the commemoration of the work of the European Union. Because the EU is now a major element in the day-to-day affairs of member countries. Let us look at two examples:

-a reasonable proportion of the legislation of EU member countries is now based on EU regulations

-the national currency in most member countries is the Euro and the free flow of goods and services is a basic reality within the EU.

However, the international organization has to come up with  bold and audacious foreign and defense polices in the next decade. If the EU wants to retain its status as a body comparable to the United Nations and the Commonwealth Secretariat in this our troubled world.
