Default Why European Union was made?

Why European Union was made?
Or in other words, What are the aims and objectives of EU.

1.To provide peace, prosperity and stability for its people;
i-e New structures to be created in western Europe, based on shared interests and founded upon treaties guaranteeing the rule of law and equality between all countries.

2.To overcome the divisions in the continent;
That is bringing Europe together:

3.To ensure that its people can live in safety;
The EU has to take effective action to ensure the safety and security of its members.
Making the EU an ‘area of freedom, security and justice’ where everyone has equal access to justice and is equally protected by the law is one of the objective of European union.

4.To promote balanced economic and social development;
EU countries account for an ever-smaller percentage of the world’s population. They must therefore continue pulling together if they are to ensure economic growth and be able to compete on the world stage with other major economies.


5.To meet the challenges of globalization and preserve the diversity of the peoples of Europe;
Europe’s post-industrial societies are becoming increasingly complex. Standards of living have risen steadily, but there are still significant gaps between rich and poor. Enlargement has widened the gap since countries have joined with living standards below the EU average. It is important for EU countries to work together to narrow the gap.

6.To uphold the values that Europeans share, such as sustainable development and a sound environment, respect for human rights and the social market economy.

The EU wishes to promote humanitarian and progressive values, and ensure that mankind is the beneficiary, rather than the victim, of the great global changes that are taking place.
