Since 1957, the European Union has achieved great things for its citizens and the world:
The EU has delivered over half a century of peace, stability and prosperity. It also plays an important role in diplomacy and works to promote these same benefits – as well as democracy, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law – across the globe.
The EU's main economic engine is the single market. It enables most goods, services, money and people to move freely throughout most of the continent.
