EUROPEAN UNION: 6 0 YEARS OF PROGRESS
Abstract
The article is devoted to the review of the results of the development of the EEU-EU integration group for 60 years after the signing of the Treaty of Rome in March 1957. The dramatic situation that emerged after the victorious conclusion of the Second World War over Nazi Germany and its allies is reminiscent of the hopelessness, need and desperation of the European peoples, it seemed, lost their future. One after another, various political projects of European unification failed. The evolution of the established European Economic Community (EEC) on the basis of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) is traced. Stages are highlighted such as the signing of the Paris and Rome treaties that created the integration group, as well as the Maastricht Summit, which renamed the EEC to the European Union. Among other decisions, indicated the accelerated expansion of the Union at the expense of the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the Union republics of the USSR, which led to increased contradictions. This factor led to the UK's exit from the EU. Questions about the prospects of the European Union were touched upon.
