 | | The euro was established by the provisions in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty on European Union relating to establishing an economic and monetary union. | | | The ten newest European Union members should eventually use the euro (although not until 2008 at least), as EMU membership was part of their accession agreements. | | | Having a single currency is expected to increase the economic interdependency of and the ease of trade between the EU members that have adopted the euro. |

| | The European Union has many activities, the most important being a common single market, consisting of a customs union, a single currency (adopted by 12 out of 25 member states), a Common Agricultural Policy and a Common Fisheries Policy, and a common defence including activities such as peacekeeping missions. | | | The "European Community" is one of the three pillars of the European Union, being both the most important pillar and the only one to operate primarily through supranational institutions. | | | On account of this unique structure, the European Union may perhaps best be seen as neither an international organization nor a confederation, but rather a sui generis entity. |

| | EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION |
| | A European Commission report states: "According to this hypothesis, bilateral trade flows between countries with increased fluctuations in bilateral exchange rates should have declined relative to bilateral flows between countries with stable bilateral rates." But, continues the Report, "a significant link has not been established" and evidence for countries of the European union is inconclusive. | | | The most obvious benefit of creating a monetary union (MU) is the elimination of the need of having to convert EU member countries' currencies into each other, which some have estimated to add permanently possibly 1-2 percent to gdp of the member states. | | | From the political as well as the economic aspect, the most significant, and certainly the most obvious cost of Emu is the loss of political sovereignty and monetary policy as a tool of demand management. |

| | History of the European Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | On the side of the European Union it was partly motivated by a desire to reunite Europe after the end of the Cold War, and an effort to tie Eastern Europe firmly to the West in order to prevent it falling again into communism or dictatorship. | | | The European Union grew out of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), which was founded in 1951, by the six founding members: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (the Benelux countries) and West Germany, France and Italy. | | | By the end of the war, a new 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 institute was given a mandate to coordinate EU members' monetary policy, to oversee preparations for the transfer to a European currency, and to create the right condit ions for the final stage of monetary reform--a European System of Central Banks (ESCB), a single European Central Bank (ECB), and a common currency. | | | Gleske also observed that one of the objectives of a European currency would be to assume the leading international role that even the deutsche mark could not assume and that such a European currency could gradually replace the dollar as a transactions and reserve currency. | | | More problematic for the Bundesbank was the recognition that those other banks, through their influence on European monetary policy, would have a voice in German monetary policy, because the EMU could not function if separate states and central banks c ould ignore any ECB policy they disliked. |

| | There are valid reasons for seeking to reform the European Monetary System, but it is also important to recognize that there are risks associated with European economic and monetary union (EMU). | | | The most significant risk with any monetary union occurs if there is insufficient convergence in the economic performance of the countries involved to allow all to benefit. | | | A number of the Maastricht proposals have served to increase the risk associated with monetary union. |
