The European Union and Trade go Hand in Hand.

---

The European Union is made up of twenty seven member countries who have joined their economies and on a smaller scale, their politics.

Each of the member countries has retained its own government, but is also under a common government.

The guideline for the governing of the European Union is the Treaty of Lisbon, which amended other treaties that were in place.

The European Union essentially has open borders for its citizens, allowing people and commerce to move freely within.

The trading between each of the European Union countries is done without penalty which is beneficial for all of the member countries.

The European Union and trade go hand in hand, because he European Union was designed to benefit the countries within economically.

The trade benefits of the Union are remarkable, but has it served to provide the union with economic stability in the fluctuating markets of today?

Much of the world is skeptical of the success of the European Union, even though it has managed to maintain existence since the end of World War II.

Trading

There are a great many benefits associated with the European Union and trade, because this is an important aspect of the European Union.

If there were no benefits to member countries, there would be no European Union.

There has to be something to offer to entice countries to join a Union.

The European Union and trade go hand in hand, but what are the effects on the surrounding areas?

Are the people in the surrounding countries losing out?

Are the costs of outsiders trading with the countries in the European Union higher so that the member countries will be more apt to trade within?

It would be interesting to see data on the differences of trading inside the European Union or trading with countries outside of it.

Is the European Union benefiting at the cost of the rest of the world?

The people of the EU have a great chance of succeeding in business because they have a much larger market to work with.

World

The world would be mistaken to follow suit of the European Union.

While the European Union and trade have their benefits in their design, the concept itself shouldn’t keep spreading.

The unionization of countries takes away the autonomy of the individual countries and their governments.

If other countries want the trade benefits seen in the European Union, they should simply make trade agreements with each other.

The way in which countries are governed are too different to combine them in a union and not affect the treatment of the people.

While the countries in the EU have regular influence in the direction of the EU, the lose the direction of their country.

The negatives of the unionizing process outweigh the positives.

The European Union is currently operating successfully, but the question is how long with this continue, before the member countries want more influence than they have?
