	European Union ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes
		One such attempt to unite Europeans was the European Coal and Steel Community which while having the modest aim of centralised control of the previously national coal and steel industries of the its member states was declared to be "a first step in the federation of Europe".
		The European Union was formally established when the Maastricht Treaty came into force on 1 November 1993 and in 1995 Austria, Sweden and Finland joined the newly established Union.
		The European Union's competence in the justice and home affairs area originates from the signing of the Schengen Agreement in 1985 on the gradual abolition of border controls between six of the then ten European Community member states.

	Demographics of the European Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Due to the significant and inseparable role played in European history and cultures, the majority of the population in the EU profess Christianity, predominantly Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
		As the EU mainly consists of fully-developed nations, secularism has planted deep roots on European soil which contributes to the rise in atheism and agnosticism.

		Among the larger European economies, France and the United Kingdom are the only significant spenders on defence: France with 2.6% of GDP, and the UK at 2.4%, according to 2003 figures from NATO.
		In 2003, France´s natural population growth (excluding immigration) was responsible for almost all the natural growth in European population: the population of the European Union increased by 216,000 inhabitants (without immigration), of which 211,000 was the increase in France´s population alone, and 5,000 was the increase in all the other countries of the EU combined.
		By 2050, demographers initially thought the population of metropolitan France would be 64 million inhabitants, but they now agree that their estimates were too conservative, being based on the 1990s growth rate of population.

		The evolution of the European Union (EU) from a regional economic agreement among six neighboring states in 1951 to today's supranational organization of 25 countries across the European continent stands as an unprecedented phenomenon in the annals of history.
		On a few occasions even country-level unions were arranged - the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were examples - but for such a large number of nation-states to cede some of their sovereignty to an overarching entity is truly unique.
		In 2004, the EU admitted 10 central and eastern European countries that are, in general, less advanced technologically and economically than the existing 15.

	European integration -
		European integration is the process of political and economic (and in some cases social and cultural) integration of European (and some peripheral) states into a tighter bloc.
		The main and most powerful body of European integration is the European Union, though other institutions like the Council of Europe also integrate their member states.
		Some say it is in Europe's best interest to integrate in order to be a more powerful global player, while others say integration is detrimental to national sovereignty and culture, and that the days of large empire like states is over, with people identifying more with localism.

	Mission Statement - The European Commission's Delegation to...
		As a result of the process set out in Nice, on 15 December 2001 the European Council meeting in Laeken (Belgium) adopted a Declaration on the Future of the European Union, which commits the Union to become more democratic, transparent and effective and to pave the way towards a Constitution for European citizens.
		The draft Constitution thus achieves a major breakthrough, which allows the Union to have its own catalogue of rights.The Charter is incorporated into the Constitution as Part II; its provisions have binding legal force although this does not mean an extension of the Union 's powers.
		As for the third category of powers, the Union acts only to support action taken by the Member States who thus retain very substantial freedom of action and the primary responsibility for management in relation to their citizens.

	Andrés Gentry: European Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		To my mind, it would be more fruitful to end the codas to Europe, acknowledge that it no longer has a significant independent role to play in the world, and pay more attention to the sort of world these three large nations envision and what role they aspire to play in the new international order.
		His criticisms of the United Nations are particularly cogent, as is his explanation of how the European media shoulders much of the blame for the current spasm of anti-Americanism that afflicts the continent.
		While the demographics of it are interesting, how the increasing diversity of a country forces it to change its identity is perhaps rather more interesting in my opinion.

	DILACERATOR: Can European Monetary Union be undone?
		By moving to a monetary union, the fundamental information will still exist, but it can no longer express itself in the exchange rate, so it is going to have to find other means.
		In the case of European Monetary Union, the regional differences now are much larger than they were in the US of the 1930's.
		One thing that I have long found very disturbing about the EU is that the "European Project" has sought (and succeeded) to put itself beyond normal political discourse, to make itself inevitable and achieve this by completely co-opting the mainstream political spectrum.

		While the United States sees Turkey’s EU membership mainly in strategic terms, European policymakers also have to consider the political, economic, and social aspects of admitting Turkey into the European Union.
		If Turkey joins the European Union under the proposed European Constitution, Germany will no longer have the most votes in the Council of Ministers or the European Parliament; the Common Agricultural Policy would face radical reform; and the borders of the European Union would stretch to the Middle East.
		The European Union would be better off with Turkey, and Europeans need to be informed of the advantages of Turkish membership.

	Movement for European Reform
		At 50, the European Union is overweight and badly dressed.
		Examples include: Germany, in response to changing demographics and a perceived lack of efficiency in public services, Angela Merkel is running a wide-ranging program that aims to stimulate economic growth.
		I understand that the European Community (the first “pillar” of the European Union) encompasses the elected European Parliament, but I’m baffled that the Parliament doesn’t actually have ultimate legislative powers.
