50 years ago, on 25 March 1957 year the signature of the Treaty of Rome created European family - European Economic Community (EEC). At the beginning it were 6 countries and after several enlargements we have now 27 member states.
The Treaty on European Union, which was signed in Maastricht on 7 February 1992, changed the name of the European Economic Community to simply "the European Community". By adding inter-governmental co-operation to the existing "Community" system, the Maastricht Treaty created a new structure with three "pillars" which is political as well economic. This is the European Union (EU).
