	European Monetary Union: Operating Monetary Policy - Finance & Development - September 1996
		The Maastricht Treaty on European Union states that members of the European Union (EU) should decide before the end of 1996 whether the majority of member countries meet the specified convergence criteria to start Stage 3 of the Economic and Monetary Union and whether it is appropriate to enter Stage 3.

		The European Union is founded on the idea of an economic unit, namely with the aim of the creation of single market – and it is thoroughly appropriate to see this reflected in the dominant position of the use of the English language.

	European Union
		Representation in the European Parliament is proportional to the voting population.
		Though ascension into the union is expected to take several years, the inclusion of more countries into the Union as it stands would lessen the power of existing union members, as these countries would expect proportional representation in the Parliament and equal representation in the Commission.
