| | In 1970 Euratom's research budget became part of the overall Community budget, whereupon the organisation ceased to have a meaningful independent existence. | | | Its predecessor, the European Unit of Account (EUA) was a mere book-keeping device to avoid expressing EC statistics (including the budget) in dollars or in D-Marks. | | | In 1967 the three Communities were effectively merged by being given a common Council of Ministers, a common Commission and soon afterwards a common budget. |

| | It is the Community's budget and accounting unit, created by member states depositing 20% of their gold and US dollar reserves with the European Monetary Cooperation Fund. | | | The Community also was instrumental in the creation of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a multilateral endeavor to support investment and development of market economies in these countries. | | | The Community's trade policy is based on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to which all community members are contracting parties. |

| | Pursuant to the Treaty establishing THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, as last amended by the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999), Article 2, THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY is vested with the responsibility "to promote throughout the Community a harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of economic activities,. | | | The resulting “competitive disadvantage” is particularly onerous to domestic companies that must comply with an array of regulations ranging from the sourcing of raw materials to laws governing treatment of their employees. | | | The purpose of the money-laundering cycle is to establish total anonymity for the participants, by passing the cash drug proceeds through the financial markets in a way that conceals or disguises the illegal nature, source, ownership, and/or control of the money. |

| | Members of the European Parliament were initially selected by national parliaments, but in 1979 the first direct elections were undertaken and they have been held every five years since. | | | Domestically, the European Union attempts to lower trade barriers, adopt a common currency, and move toward convergence of living standards. | | | Because of the great differences in per capita income (from $10,000 to $28,000) and historic national animosities, the European Community faces difficulties in devising and enforcing common policies. |
