		The European Union or EU is an international organisation of European states, established by the Treaty on European Union (the Maastricht treaty).
		The European Union is the most powerful international organisation so far in history, in some ways resembling a state; some legal scholars believe that it should not be considered as an international organisation at all, but rather as a sui generis entity.
		The original impetus for the founding of (what was later to become) the European Union was the desire to rebuild Europe after the disastrous events of World War II, and to prevent Europe from ever again falling victim to the scourge of war.

		The Ombudsman finds the withdrawal of the allowance should have been done with prior consultation of the staff concerned; that is the staff representatives in the present case should have been informed in advance.

	European Committee on Romani Emancipation
		Article 195 of the EC Treaty empowers the European Ombudsman to receive complaints concerning instances of maladministration in the activities of Community institutions or bodies, with the exception of the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instances acting in their judicial role.
		A competence of the European Ombudsman is clearly excluded in so far as Title V (Provisions on a common foreign and security policy) is concerned (see Article 28 TEU), according to which several provisions of the EC Treaty - but not Article 195 - shall apply to this field.
		It follows that the European Ombudsman has no mandate to examine the activity of Community institutions and bodies carried out on the basis of the provisions of this title, including the activity of the Commission under Article 49 TEU.
