Supranational Organizations- European Union


In our discussion about the European Union as a supranational organization, we found out that it is a partnership between 27 European countries. The EU is a very special and one-of-a kind political partnership. It is said in the EU website that “it has delivered half a century of peace, stability, and prosperity, helped raise living standards, launched a single European currency, and is progressively building a single Europe-wide market in which people, goods, services, and capital move among Member States as freely as within one country.” (taken from the EU website)


It’s description says that it has delivered half a century of peace and it continues to develop the 27 countries. From the news I’ve seen in the EU website, It is said that one of the millennium goals have been met, the Developmental Goal on safe drinking water. In the article, it says that the EU successfully helped over 32 million people that are part of the European Union to have safe and improved water supply. Examples like these are indicators of continuous achievements and accomplishments by the EU and also it shows that there is a bright future for the EU.
